To determine if 8755 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8755.
If the factors of 8755 are only 8755 and 1, then we know that 8755 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8755 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8755 is only divisible by 1 and 8755, then it is a prime number, and if 8755 is divisible by more than 8755 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8755 are as follows:
1, 5, 17, 85, 103, 515, 1751, 8755
