To determine if 8468 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8468.
If the factors of 8468 are only 8468 and 1, then we know that 8468 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8468 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8468 is only divisible by 1 and 8468, then it is a prime number, and if 8468 is divisible by more than 8468 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8468 are as follows:
