To determine if 8346 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8346.
If the factors of 8346 are only 8346 and 1, then we know that 8346 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8346 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8346 is only divisible by 1 and 8346, then it is a prime number, and if 8346 is divisible by more than 8346 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8346 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 78, 107, 214, 321, 642, 1391, 2782, 4173, 8346
Therefore, since 8346 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8346 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
