To determine if 8304 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8304.
If the factors of 8304 are only 8304 and 1, then we know that 8304 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8304 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8304 is only divisible by 1 and 8304, then it is a prime number, and if 8304 is divisible by more than 8304 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8304 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 173, 346, 519, 692, 1038, 1384, 2076, 2768, 4152, 8304
Therefore, since 8304 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8304 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
