To determine if 808 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 808.
If the factors of 808 are only 808 and 1, then we know that 808 is a prime number. Otherwise, 808 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 808 is only divisible by 1 and 808, then it is a prime number, and if 808 is divisible by more than 808 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 808 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 101, 202, 404, 808
Therefore, since 808 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 808 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 809 prime or composite?
