Answer:

Explanation:

Prime numbers are numbers whose factors are 1 and the number it self.

Note that 1 is neither prime nor composite.

Composite numbers are the numbers other than prime numbers.That is they have multiple factors other than 1 and the number it self.

First, we will see the factors of 8.

Factors of 8 = 1 , 2 , 4 , 8

1 is neither prime, nor composite. So, that is excluded.

2 is a prime number as the factors of 2 are 1 and 2. (1 and the number itself)

4 is a composite number as it has 3 factors. 1, 2, 4

8 is a composite number as it has 4 factors. 1,2,4,8

Hence, the only prime factor of 8 is 2.
