To determine if 9040 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9040.
If the factors of 9040 are only 9040 and 1, then we know that 9040 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9040 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9040 is only divisible by 1 and 9040, then it is a prime number, and if 9040 is divisible by more than 9040 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9040 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80, 113, 226, 452, 565, 904, 1130, 1808, 2260, 4520, 9040
Therefore, since 9040 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9040 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9041 prime or composite?
