To determine if 8208 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8208.
If the factors of 8208 are only 8208 and 1, then we know that 8208 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8208 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8208 is only divisible by 1 and 8208, then it is a prime number, and if 8208 is divisible by more than 8208 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8208 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 19, 24, 27, 36, 38, 48, 54, 57, 72, 76, 108, 114, 144, 152, 171, 216, 228, 304, 342, 432, 456, 513, 684, 912, 1026, 1368, 2052, 2736, 4104, 8208
Therefore, since 8208 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8208 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
