To determine if 8764 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8764.
If the factors of 8764 are only 8764 and 1, then we know that 8764 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8764 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8764 is only divisible by 1 and 8764, then it is a prime number, and if 8764 is divisible by more than 8764 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8764 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 313, 626, 1252, 2191, 4382, 8764
Therefore, since 8764 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8764 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8765 prime or composite?
