To determine if 9010 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9010.
If the factors of 9010 are only 9010 and 1, then we know that 9010 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9010 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9010 is only divisible by 1 and 9010, then it is a prime number, and if 9010 is divisible by more than 9010 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9010 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 34, 53, 85, 106, 170, 265, 530, 901, 1802, 4505, 9010
Therefore, since 9010 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9010 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9011 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 9010 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
