To determine if 8952 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8952.
If the factors of 8952 are only 8952 and 1, then we know that 8952 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8952 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8952 is only divisible by 1 and 8952, then it is a prime number, and if 8952 is divisible by more than 8952 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8952 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 373, 746, 1119, 1492, 2238, 2984, 4476, 8952
Therefore, since 8952 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8952 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
