To determine if 8334 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8334.
If the factors of 8334 are only 8334 and 1, then we know that 8334 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8334 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8334 is only divisible by 1 and 8334, then it is a prime number, and if 8334 is divisible by more than 8334 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8334 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 463, 926, 1389, 2778, 4167, 8334
Therefore, since 8334 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8334 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
