To determine if 9044 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9044.
If the factors of 9044 are only 9044 and 1, then we know that 9044 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9044 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9044 is only divisible by 1 and 9044, then it is a prime number, and if 9044 is divisible by more than 9044 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9044 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 17, 19, 28, 34, 38, 68, 76, 119, 133, 238, 266, 323, 476, 532, 646, 1292, 2261, 4522, 9044
Therefore, since 9044 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9044 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
