To determine if 8954 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8954.
If the factors of 8954 are only 8954 and 1, then we know that 8954 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8954 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8954 is only divisible by 1 and 8954, then it is a prime number, and if 8954 is divisible by more than 8954 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8954 are as follows:
