To determine if 8822 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8822.
If the factors of 8822 are only 8822 and 1, then we know that 8822 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8822 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8822 is only divisible by 1 and 8822, then it is a prime number, and if 8822 is divisible by more than 8822 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8822 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 401, 802, 4411, 8822
