To determine if 8306 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8306.
If the factors of 8306 are only 8306 and 1, then we know that 8306 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8306 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8306 is only divisible by 1 and 8306, then it is a prime number, and if 8306 is divisible by more than 8306 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8306 are as follows:
