To determine if 8382 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8382.
If the factors of 8382 are only 8382 and 1, then we know that 8382 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8382 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8382 is only divisible by 1 and 8382, then it is a prime number, and if 8382 is divisible by more than 8382 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8382 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 127, 254, 381, 762, 1397, 2794, 4191, 8382
Therefore, since 8382 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8382 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
