To determine if 8805 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8805.
If the factors of 8805 are only 8805 and 1, then we know that 8805 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8805 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8805 is only divisible by 1 and 8805, then it is a prime number, and if 8805 is divisible by more than 8805 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8805 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 587, 1761, 2935, 8805
