To determine if 9056 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9056.
If the factors of 9056 are only 9056 and 1, then we know that 9056 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9056 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9056 is only divisible by 1 and 9056, then it is a prime number, and if 9056 is divisible by more than 9056 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9056 are as follows:
