To determine if 9002 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9002.
If the factors of 9002 are only 9002 and 1, then we know that 9002 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9002 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9002 is only divisible by 1 and 9002, then it is a prime number, and if 9002 is divisible by more than 9002 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9002 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 643, 1286, 4501, 9002
Therefore, since 9002 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9002 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
