To determine if 8564 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8564.
If the factors of 8564 are only 8564 and 1, then we know that 8564 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8564 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8564 is only divisible by 1 and 8564, then it is a prime number, and if 8564 is divisible by more than 8564 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8564 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 2141, 4282, 8564
Therefore, since 8564 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
