To determine if 8448 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8448.
If the factors of 8448 are only 8448 and 1, then we know that 8448 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8448 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8448 is only divisible by 1 and 8448, then it is a prime number, and if 8448 is divisible by more than 8448 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8448 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 16, 22, 24, 32, 33, 44, 48, 64, 66, 88, 96, 128, 132, 176, 192, 256, 264, 352, 384, 528, 704, 768, 1056, 1408, 2112, 2816, 4224, 8448
Therefore, since 8448 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8448 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
