To determine if 8226 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8226.
If the factors of 8226 are only 8226 and 1, then we know that 8226 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8226 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8226 is only divisible by 1 and 8226, then it is a prime number, and if 8226 is divisible by more than 8226 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8226 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 457, 914, 1371, 2742, 4113, 8226
Therefore, since 8226 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8226 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8227 prime or composite?
