To determine if 8336 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8336.
If the factors of 8336 are only 8336 and 1, then we know that 8336 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8336 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8336 is only divisible by 1 and 8336, then it is a prime number, and if 8336 is divisible by more than 8336 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8336 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 521, 1042, 2084, 4168, 8336
Therefore, since 8336 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8336 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
