To determine if 9021 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9021.
If the factors of 9021 are only 9021 and 1, then we know that 9021 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9021 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9021 is only divisible by 1 and 9021, then it is a prime number, and if 9021 is divisible by more than 9021 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9021 are as follows:
1, 3, 31, 93, 97, 291, 3007, 9021
Therefore, since 9021 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9021 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
