To determine if 8607 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8607.
If the factors of 8607 are only 8607 and 1, then we know that 8607 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8607 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8607 is only divisible by 1 and 8607, then it is a prime number, and if 8607 is divisible by more than 8607 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8607 are as follows:
