To determine if 8751 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8751.
If the factors of 8751 are only 8751 and 1, then we know that 8751 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8751 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8751 is only divisible by 1 and 8751, then it is a prime number, and if 8751 is divisible by more than 8751 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8751 are as follows:
1, 3, 2917, 8751
Therefore, since 8751 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8751 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8752 prime or composite?
