To determine if 8812 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8812.
If the factors of 8812 are only 8812 and 1, then we know that 8812 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8812 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8812 is only divisible by 1 and 8812, then it is a prime number, and if 8812 is divisible by more than 8812 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8812 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 2203, 4406, 8812
Therefore, since 8812 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8812 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
