To determine if 8302 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8302.
If the factors of 8302 are only 8302 and 1, then we know that 8302 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8302 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8302 is only divisible by 1 and 8302, then it is a prime number, and if 8302 is divisible by more than 8302 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8302 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 593, 1186, 4151, 8302
Therefore, since 8302 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8302 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
