To determine if 8212 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8212.
If the factors of 8212 are only 8212 and 1, then we know that 8212 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8212 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8212 is only divisible by 1 and 8212, then it is a prime number, and if 8212 is divisible by more than 8212 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8212 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 2053, 4106, 8212
Therefore, since 8212 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8212 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8213 prime or composite?
