To determine if 8416 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8416.
If the factors of 8416 are only 8416 and 1, then we know that 8416 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8416 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8416 is only divisible by 1 and 8416, then it is a prime number, and if 8416 is divisible by more than 8416 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8416 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 263, 526, 1052, 2104, 4208, 8416
Therefore, since 8416 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8416 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8417 prime or composite?
