To determine if 8925 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8925.
If the factors of 8925 are only 8925 and 1, then we know that 8925 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8925 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8925 is only divisible by 1 and 8925, then it is a prime number, and if 8925 is divisible by more than 8925 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8925 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 17, 21, 25, 35, 51, 75, 85, 105, 119, 175, 255, 357, 425, 525, 595, 1275, 1785, 2975, 8925
Therefore, since 8925 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8925 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
