To determine if 9048 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9048.
If the factors of 9048 are only 9048 and 1, then we know that 9048 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9048 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9048 is only divisible by 1 and 9048, then it is a prime number, and if 9048 is divisible by more than 9048 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9048 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 24, 26, 29, 39, 52, 58, 78, 87, 104, 116, 156, 174, 232, 312, 348, 377, 696, 754, 1131, 1508, 2262, 3016, 4524, 9048
Therefore, since 9048 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9048 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
