To determine if 8841 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8841.
If the factors of 8841 are only 8841 and 1, then we know that 8841 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8841 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8841 is only divisible by 1 and 8841, then it is a prime number, and if 8841 is divisible by more than 8841 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8841 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 21, 421, 1263, 2947, 8841
Therefore, since 8841 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
