To determine if 884 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 884.
If the factors of 884 are only 884 and 1, then we know that 884 is a prime number. Otherwise, 884 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 884 is only divisible by 1 and 884, then it is a prime number, and if 884 is divisible by more than 884 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 884 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442, 884
Therefore, since 884 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 884 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 885 prime or composite?
