To determine if 8324 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8324.
If the factors of 8324 are only 8324 and 1, then we know that 8324 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8324 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8324 is only divisible by 1 and 8324, then it is a prime number, and if 8324 is divisible by more than 8324 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8324 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 2081, 4162, 8324
Therefore, since 8324 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8324 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
