To determine if 8124 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8124.
If the factors of 8124 are only 8124 and 1, then we know that 8124 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8124 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8124 is only divisible by 1 and 8124, then it is a prime number, and if 8124 is divisible by more than 8124 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8124 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 677, 1354, 2031, 2708, 4062, 8124
Therefore, since 8124 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8124 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
