To determine if 8358 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8358.
If the factors of 8358 are only 8358 and 1, then we know that 8358 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8358 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8358 is only divisible by 1 and 8358, then it is a prime number, and if 8358 is divisible by more than 8358 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8358 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 199, 398, 597, 1194, 1393, 2786, 4179, 8358
Therefore, since 8358 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8358 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
