To determine if 8880 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8880.
If the factors of 8880 are only 8880 and 1, then we know that 8880 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8880 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8880 is only divisible by 1 and 8880, then it is a prime number, and if 8880 is divisible by more than 8880 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8880 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 37, 40, 48, 60, 74, 80, 111, 120, 148, 185, 222, 240, 296, 370, 444, 555, 592, 740, 888, 1110, 1480, 1776, 2220, 2960, 4440, 8880
Therefore, since 8880 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8880 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
