To determine if 9042 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9042.
If the factors of 9042 are only 9042 and 1, then we know that 9042 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9042 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9042 is only divisible by 1 and 9042, then it is a prime number, and if 9042 is divisible by more than 9042 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9042 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 137, 274, 411, 822, 1507, 3014, 4521, 9042
Therefore, since 9042 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9042 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
