To determine if 8228 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8228.
If the factors of 8228 are only 8228 and 1, then we know that 8228 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8228 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8228 is only divisible by 1 and 8228, then it is a prime number, and if 8228 is divisible by more than 8228 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8228 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 17, 22, 34, 44, 68, 121, 187, 242, 374, 484, 748, 2057, 4114, 8228
Therefore, since 8228 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8228 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
