To determine if 9030 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9030.
If the factors of 9030 are only 9030 and 1, then we know that 9030 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9030 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9030 is only divisible by 1 and 9030, then it is a prime number, and if 9030 is divisible by more than 9030 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9030 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 21, 30, 35, 42, 43, 70, 86, 105, 129, 210, 215, 258, 301, 430, 602, 645, 903, 1290, 1505, 1806, 3010, 4515, 9030
Therefore, since 9030 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9030 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9031 prime or composite?
