To determine if 8554 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8554.
If the factors of 8554 are only 8554 and 1, then we know that 8554 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8554 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8554 is only divisible by 1 and 8554, then it is a prime number, and if 8554 is divisible by more than 8554 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8554 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 26, 47, 91, 94, 182, 329, 611, 658, 1222, 4277, 8554
Therefore, since 8554 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8554 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
