To determine if 8694 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8694.
If the factors of 8694 are only 8694 and 1, then we know that 8694 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8694 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8694 is only divisible by 1 and 8694, then it is a prime number, and if 8694 is divisible by more than 8694 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8694 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 23, 27, 42, 46, 54, 63, 69, 126, 138, 161, 189, 207, 322, 378, 414, 483, 621, 966, 1242, 1449, 2898, 4347, 8694
Therefore, since 8694 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8694 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
