To determine if 8671 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8671.
If the factors of 8671 are only 8671 and 1, then we know that 8671 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8671 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8671 is only divisible by 1 and 8671, then it is a prime number, and if 8671 is divisible by more than 8671 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8671 are as follows:
1, 13, 23, 29, 299, 377, 667, 8671
Therefore, since 8671 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8671 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
