To determine if 8808 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8808.
If the factors of 8808 are only 8808 and 1, then we know that 8808 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8808 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8808 is only divisible by 1 and 8808, then it is a prime number, and if 8808 is divisible by more than 8808 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8808 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 367, 734, 1101, 1468, 2202, 2936, 4404, 8808
Therefore, since 8808 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8808 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8809 prime or composite?
