To determine if 8360 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8360.
If the factors of 8360 are only 8360 and 1, then we know that 8360 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8360 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8360 is only divisible by 1 and 8360, then it is a prime number, and if 8360 is divisible by more than 8360 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8360 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 19, 20, 22, 38, 40, 44, 55, 76, 88, 95, 110, 152, 190, 209, 220, 380, 418, 440, 760, 836, 1045, 1672, 2090, 4180, 8360
Therefore, since 8360 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8360 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
