To determine if 9006 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9006.
If the factors of 9006 are only 9006 and 1, then we know that 9006 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9006 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9006 is only divisible by 1 and 9006, then it is a prime number, and if 9006 is divisible by more than 9006 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9006 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 19, 38, 57, 79, 114, 158, 237, 474, 1501, 3002, 4503, 9006
Therefore, since 9006 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9006 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9007 prime or composite?
