To determine if 8908 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8908.
If the factors of 8908 are only 8908 and 1, then we know that 8908 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8908 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8908 is only divisible by 1 and 8908, then it is a prime number, and if 8908 is divisible by more than 8908 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8908 are as follows:
