To determine if 8853 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8853.
If the factors of 8853 are only 8853 and 1, then we know that 8853 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8853 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8853 is only divisible by 1 and 8853, then it is a prime number, and if 8853 is divisible by more than 8853 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8853 are as follows:
1, 3, 13, 39, 227, 681, 2951, 8853
