To determine if 8756 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8756.
If the factors of 8756 are only 8756 and 1, then we know that 8756 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8756 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8756 is only divisible by 1 and 8756, then it is a prime number, and if 8756 is divisible by more than 8756 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8756 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 199, 398, 796, 2189, 4378, 8756
Therefore, since 8756 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8756 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
