To determine if 8832 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8832.
If the factors of 8832 are only 8832 and 1, then we know that 8832 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8832 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8832 is only divisible by 1 and 8832, then it is a prime number, and if 8832 is divisible by more than 8832 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8832 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 23, 24, 32, 46, 48, 64, 69, 92, 96, 128, 138, 184, 192, 276, 368, 384, 552, 736, 1104, 1472, 2208, 2944, 4416, 8832
Therefore, since 8832 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8832 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
