To determine if 8288 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8288.
If the factors of 8288 are only 8288 and 1, then we know that 8288 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8288 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8288 is only divisible by 1 and 8288, then it is a prime number, and if 8288 is divisible by more than 8288 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8288 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 37, 56, 74, 112, 148, 224, 259, 296, 518, 592, 1036, 1184, 2072, 4144, 8288
Therefore, since 8288 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8288 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
