To determine if 8628 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8628.
If the factors of 8628 are only 8628 and 1, then we know that 8628 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8628 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8628 is only divisible by 1 and 8628, then it is a prime number, and if 8628 is divisible by more than 8628 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8628 are as follows:
