To determine if 8668 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8668.
If the factors of 8668 are only 8668 and 1, then we know that 8668 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8668 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8668 is only divisible by 1 and 8668, then it is a prime number, and if 8668 is divisible by more than 8668 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8668 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 197, 394, 788, 2167, 4334, 8668
Therefore, since 8668 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8668 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
