  • And numbers having more than these two factors are the composite numbers.
  • To check whether the number 884 is composite or not first we have to find its factors.

 

Factors of 884:

  • If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 884, we found that 884 has factors 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442 and 884. Hence, we must say that 884 is a composite number.
  • Thus, 884 is the composite umber.
  • If we multiply 884 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 884 which are 884, 1768 and so on.

  • 884 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
  • If we divide 884 by 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442 and 884 then we get remainder as zero. Hence, 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442 and 884 are the factors of 884.

 

Note:

  • 884 is not the perfect square.
  • Factors of 884: 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442 and 884
  • Prime factors of 884: 2, 13, 17

 

Conclusion:

  • 884 is the composite number which has factors 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442 and 884
  • And hence, 884 is not the prime number.
