To determine if 8784 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8784.
If the factors of 8784 are only 8784 and 1, then we know that 8784 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8784 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8784 is only divisible by 1 and 8784, then it is a prime number, and if 8784 is divisible by more than 8784 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8784 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 61, 72, 122, 144, 183, 244, 366, 488, 549, 732, 976, 1098, 1464, 2196, 2928, 4392, 8784
Therefore, since 8784 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8784 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
