To determine if 8804 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8804.
If the factors of 8804 are only 8804 and 1, then we know that 8804 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8804 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8804 is only divisible by 1 and 8804, then it is a prime number, and if 8804 is divisible by more than 8804 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8804 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 71, 124, 142, 284, 2201, 4402, 8804
Therefore, since 8804 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8804 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
