To determine if 8865 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8865.
If the factors of 8865 are only 8865 and 1, then we know that 8865 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8865 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8865 is only divisible by 1 and 8865, then it is a prime number, and if 8865 is divisible by more than 8865 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8865 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45, 197, 591, 985, 1773, 2955, 8865
Therefore, since 8865 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8865 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
