To determine if 8328 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8328.
If the factors of 8328 are only 8328 and 1, then we know that 8328 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8328 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8328 is only divisible by 1 and 8328, then it is a prime number, and if 8328 is divisible by more than 8328 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8328 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 347, 694, 1041, 1388, 2082, 2776, 4164, 8328
Therefore, since 8328 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8328 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
