To determine if 8122 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8122.
If the factors of 8122 are only 8122 and 1, then we know that 8122 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8122 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8122 is only divisible by 1 and 8122, then it is a prime number, and if 8122 is divisible by more than 8122 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8122 are as follows:
1, 2, 31, 62, 131, 262, 4061, 8122
Therefore, since 8122 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
