To determine if 9012 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9012.
If the factors of 9012 are only 9012 and 1, then we know that 9012 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9012 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9012 is only divisible by 1 and 9012, then it is a prime number, and if 9012 is divisible by more than 9012 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9012 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 751, 1502, 2253, 3004, 4506, 9012
Therefore, since 9012 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9012 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9013 prime or composite?
