To determine if 8464 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8464.
If the factors of 8464 are only 8464 and 1, then we know that 8464 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8464 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8464 is only divisible by 1 and 8464, then it is a prime number, and if 8464 is divisible by more than 8464 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8464 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 23, 46, 92, 184, 368, 529, 1058, 2116, 4232, 8464
Therefore, since 8464 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8464 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8465 prime or composite?
