To determine if 9001 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9001.
If the factors of 9001 are only 9001 and 1, then we know that 9001 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9001 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9001 is only divisible by 1 and 9001, then it is a prime number, and if 9001 is divisible by more than 9001 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9001 are as follows:
1, 9001
Therefore, since 9001 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9001 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
Is 9002 prime or composite?
