To determine if 8222 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8222.
If the factors of 8222 are only 8222 and 1, then we know that 8222 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8222 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8222 is only divisible by 1 and 8222, then it is a prime number, and if 8222 is divisible by more than 8222 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8222 are as follows:
1, 2, 4111, 8222
Therefore, since 8222 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8222 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
