To determine if 8830 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8830.
If the factors of 8830 are only 8830 and 1, then we know that 8830 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8830 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8830 is only divisible by 1 and 8830, then it is a prime number, and if 8830 is divisible by more than 8830 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8830 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 883, 1766, 4415, 8830
Therefore, since 8830 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8830 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
