To determine if 8811 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8811.
If the factors of 8811 are only 8811 and 1, then we know that 8811 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8811 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8811 is only divisible by 1 and 8811, then it is a prime number, and if 8811 is divisible by more than 8811 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8811 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 11, 33, 89, 99, 267, 801, 979, 2937, 8811
Therefore, since 8811 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8811 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8812 prime or composite?
