To determine if 8757 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8757.
If the factors of 8757 are only 8757 and 1, then we know that 8757 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8757 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8757 is only divisible by 1 and 8757, then it is a prime number, and if 8757 is divisible by more than 8757 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8757 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63, 139, 417, 973, 1251, 2919, 8757
