To determine if 8692 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8692.
If the factors of 8692 are only 8692 and 1, then we know that 8692 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8692 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8692 is only divisible by 1 and 8692, then it is a prime number, and if 8692 is divisible by more than 8692 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8692 are as follows:
