To determine if 8202 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8202.
If the factors of 8202 are only 8202 and 1, then we know that 8202 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8202 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8202 is only divisible by 1 and 8202, then it is a prime number, and if 8202 is divisible by more than 8202 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8202 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 1367, 2734, 4101, 8202
Therefore, since 8202 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8202 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
