To determine if 8308 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8308.
If the factors of 8308 are only 8308 and 1, then we know that 8308 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8308 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8308 is only divisible by 1 and 8308, then it is a prime number, and if 8308 is divisible by more than 8308 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8308 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 67, 124, 134, 268, 2077, 4154, 8308
Therefore, since 8308 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8308 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8309 prime or composite?
