To determine if 8964 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8964.
If the factors of 8964 are only 8964 and 1, then we know that 8964 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8964 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8964 is only divisible by 1 and 8964, then it is a prime number, and if 8964 is divisible by more than 8964 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8964 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 83, 108, 166, 249, 332, 498, 747, 996, 1494, 2241, 2988, 4482, 8964
Therefore, since 8964 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8964 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
