To determine if 8835 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8835.
If the factors of 8835 are only 8835 and 1, then we know that 8835 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8835 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8835 is only divisible by 1 and 8835, then it is a prime number, and if 8835 is divisible by more than 8835 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8835 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 19, 31, 57, 93, 95, 155, 285, 465, 589, 1767, 2945, 8835
Therefore, since 8835 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8835 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8836 prime or composite?
