To determine if 8848 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8848.
If the factors of 8848 are only 8848 and 1, then we know that 8848 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8848 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8848 is only divisible by 1 and 8848, then it is a prime number, and if 8848 is divisible by more than 8848 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8848 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 79, 112, 158, 316, 553, 632, 1106, 1264, 2212, 4424, 8848
Therefore, since 8848 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8848 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
