To determine if 8810 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8810.
If the factors of 8810 are only 8810 and 1, then we know that 8810 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8810 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8810 is only divisible by 1 and 8810, then it is a prime number, and if 8810 is divisible by more than 8810 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8810 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 881, 1762, 4405, 8810
Therefore, since 8810 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8810 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
