To determine if 9004 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9004.
If the factors of 9004 are only 9004 and 1, then we know that 9004 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9004 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9004 is only divisible by 1 and 9004, then it is a prime number, and if 9004 is divisible by more than 9004 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9004 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 2251, 4502, 9004
Therefore, since 9004 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9004 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
