To determine if 8675 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8675.
If the factors of 8675 are only 8675 and 1, then we know that 8675 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8675 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8675 is only divisible by 1 and 8675, then it is a prime number, and if 8675 is divisible by more than 8675 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8675 are as follows:
