To determine if 880 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 880.
If the factors of 880 are only 880 and 1, then we know that 880 is a prime number. Otherwise, 880 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 880 is only divisible by 1 and 880, then it is a prime number, and if 880 is divisible by more than 880 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 880 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 16, 20, 22, 40, 44, 55, 80, 88, 110, 176, 220, 440, 880
Therefore, since 880 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 880 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 881 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 880 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
