To determine if 8414 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8414.
If the factors of 8414 are only 8414 and 1, then we know that 8414 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8414 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8414 is only divisible by 1 and 8414, then it is a prime number, and if 8414 is divisible by more than 8414 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8414 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 601, 1202, 4207, 8414
