To determine if 8836 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8836.
If the factors of 8836 are only 8836 and 1, then we know that 8836 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8836 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8836 is only divisible by 1 and 8836, then it is a prime number, and if 8836 is divisible by more than 8836 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8836 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 47, 94, 188, 2209, 4418, 8836
