To determine if 9016 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9016.
If the factors of 9016 are only 9016 and 1, then we know that 9016 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9016 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9016 is only divisible by 1 and 9016, then it is a prime number, and if 9016 is divisible by more than 9016 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9016 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 23, 28, 46, 49, 56, 92, 98, 161, 184, 196, 322, 392, 644, 1127, 1288, 2254, 4508, 9016
Therefore, since 9016 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9016 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9017 prime or composite?
