To determine if 8294 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8294.
If the factors of 8294 are only 8294 and 1, then we know that 8294 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8294 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8294 is only divisible by 1 and 8294, then it is a prime number, and if 8294 is divisible by more than 8294 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8294 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 13, 22, 26, 29, 58, 143, 286, 319, 377, 638, 754, 4147, 8294
Therefore, since 8294 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8294 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
