To determine if 9020 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9020.
If the factors of 9020 are only 9020 and 1, then we know that 9020 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9020 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9020 is only divisible by 1 and 9020, then it is a prime number, and if 9020 is divisible by more than 9020 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9020 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 41, 44, 55, 82, 110, 164, 205, 220, 410, 451, 820, 902, 1804, 2255, 4510, 9020
Therefore, since 9020 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9020 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9021 prime or composite?
