To determine if 8343 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8343.
If the factors of 8343 are only 8343 and 1, then we know that 8343 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8343 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8343 is only divisible by 1 and 8343, then it is a prime number, and if 8343 is divisible by more than 8343 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8343 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 103, 309, 927, 2781, 8343
