To determine if 8633 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8633.
If the factors of 8633 are only 8633 and 1, then we know that 8633 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8633 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8633 is only divisible by 1 and 8633, then it is a prime number, and if 8633 is divisible by more than 8633 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8633 are as follows:
