To determine if 8875 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8875.
If the factors of 8875 are only 8875 and 1, then we know that 8875 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8875 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8875 is only divisible by 1 and 8875, then it is a prime number, and if 8875 is divisible by more than 8875 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8875 are as follows:
1, 5, 25, 71, 125, 355, 1775, 8875
