To determine if 8078 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8078.
If the factors of 8078 are only 8078 and 1, then we know that 8078 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8078 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8078 is only divisible by 1 and 8078, then it is a prime number, and if 8078 is divisible by more than 8078 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8078 are as follows:
