To determine if 8571 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8571.
If the factors of 8571 are only 8571 and 1, then we know that 8571 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8571 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8571 is only divisible by 1 and 8571, then it is a prime number, and if 8571 is divisible by more than 8571 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8571 are as follows:
1, 3, 2857, 8571
Therefore, since 8571 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8571 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8572 prime or composite?
