To determine if 8568 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8568.
If the factors of 8568 are only 8568 and 1, then we know that 8568 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8568 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8568 is only divisible by 1 and 8568, then it is a prime number, and if 8568 is divisible by more than 8568 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8568 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 17, 18, 21, 24, 28, 34, 36, 42, 51, 56, 63, 68, 72, 84, 102, 119, 126, 136, 153, 168, 204, 238, 252, 306, 357, 408, 476, 504, 612, 714, 952, 1071, 1224, 1428, 2142, 2856, 4284, 8568
Therefore, since 8568 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8568 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
