To determine if 8814 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8814.
If the factors of 8814 are only 8814 and 1, then we know that 8814 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8814 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8814 is only divisible by 1 and 8814, then it is a prime number, and if 8814 is divisible by more than 8814 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8814 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 78, 113, 226, 339, 678, 1469, 2938, 4407, 8814
Therefore, since 8814 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8814 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
