To determine if 8770 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8770.
If the factors of 8770 are only 8770 and 1, then we know that 8770 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8770 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8770 is only divisible by 1 and 8770, then it is a prime number, and if 8770 is divisible by more than 8770 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8770 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 877, 1754, 4385, 8770
Therefore, since 8770 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
