To determine if 881 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 881.
If the factors of 881 are only 881 and 1, then we know that 881 is a prime number. Otherwise, 881 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 881 is only divisible by 1 and 881, then it is a prime number, and if 881 is divisible by more than 881 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 881 are as follows:
1, 881
Therefore, since 881 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 881 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
Is 882 prime or composite?
