To determine if 8214 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8214.
If the factors of 8214 are only 8214 and 1, then we know that 8214 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8214 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8214 is only divisible by 1 and 8214, then it is a prime number, and if 8214 is divisible by more than 8214 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8214 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 37, 74, 111, 222, 1369, 2738, 4107, 8214
Therefore, since 8214 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8214 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8215 prime or composite?
