To determine if 8547 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8547.
If the factors of 8547 are only 8547 and 1, then we know that 8547 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8547 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8547 is only divisible by 1 and 8547, then it is a prime number, and if 8547 is divisible by more than 8547 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8547 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 37, 77, 111, 231, 259, 407, 777, 1221, 2849, 8547
Therefore, since 8547 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8547 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
