To determine if 8792 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8792.
If the factors of 8792 are only 8792 and 1, then we know that 8792 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8792 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8792 is only divisible by 1 and 8792, then it is a prime number, and if 8792 is divisible by more than 8792 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8792 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56, 157, 314, 628, 1099, 1256, 2198, 4396, 8792
Therefore, since 8792 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8792 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
