To determine if 8264 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8264.
If the factors of 8264 are only 8264 and 1, then we know that 8264 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8264 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8264 is only divisible by 1 and 8264, then it is a prime number, and if 8264 is divisible by more than 8264 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8264 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 1033, 2066, 4132, 8264
Therefore, since 8264 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
