To determine if 8816 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8816.
If the factors of 8816 are only 8816 and 1, then we know that 8816 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8816 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8816 is only divisible by 1 and 8816, then it is a prime number, and if 8816 is divisible by more than 8816 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8816 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 29, 38, 58, 76, 116, 152, 232, 304, 464, 551, 1102, 2204, 4408, 8816
Therefore, since 8816 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8816 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
