To determine if 8362 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8362.
If the factors of 8362 are only 8362 and 1, then we know that 8362 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8362 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8362 is only divisible by 1 and 8362, then it is a prime number, and if 8362 is divisible by more than 8362 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8362 are as follows:
1, 2, 37, 74, 113, 226, 4181, 8362
