To determine if 8921 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8921.
If the factors of 8921 are only 8921 and 1, then we know that 8921 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8921 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8921 is only divisible by 1 and 8921, then it is a prime number, and if 8921 is divisible by more than 8921 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8921 are as follows:
