To determine if 8244 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8244.
If the factors of 8244 are only 8244 and 1, then we know that 8244 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8244 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8244 is only divisible by 1 and 8244, then it is a prime number, and if 8244 is divisible by more than 8244 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8244 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 229, 458, 687, 916, 1374, 2061, 2748, 4122, 8244
Therefore, since 8244 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8244 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
