To determine if 8258 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8258.
If the factors of 8258 are only 8258 and 1, then we know that 8258 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8258 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8258 is only divisible by 1 and 8258, then it is a prime number, and if 8258 is divisible by more than 8258 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8258 are as follows:
