To determine if 8216 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8216.
If the factors of 8216 are only 8216 and 1, then we know that 8216 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8216 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8216 is only divisible by 1 and 8216, then it is a prime number, and if 8216 is divisible by more than 8216 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8216 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 52, 79, 104, 158, 316, 632, 1027, 2054, 4108, 8216
Therefore, since 8216 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8216 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8217 prime or composite?
