To determine if 8366 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8366.
If the factors of 8366 are only 8366 and 1, then we know that 8366 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8366 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8366 is only divisible by 1 and 8366, then it is a prime number, and if 8366 is divisible by more than 8366 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8366 are as follows:
1, 2, 47, 89, 94, 178, 4183, 8366
