To determine if 8801 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8801.
If the factors of 8801 are only 8801 and 1, then we know that 8801 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8801 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8801 is only divisible by 1 and 8801, then it is a prime number, and if 8801 is divisible by more than 8801 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8801 are as follows:
1, 13, 677, 8801
Therefore, since 8801 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8801 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8802 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 8801 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.
