To determine if 9072 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9072.
If the factors of 9072 are only 9072 and 1, then we know that 9072 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9072 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9072 is only divisible by 1 and 9072, then it is a prime number, and if 9072 is divisible by more than 9072 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9072 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, 27, 28, 36, 42, 48, 54, 56, 63, 72, 81, 84, 108, 112, 126, 144, 162, 168, 189, 216, 252, 324, 336, 378, 432, 504, 567, 648, 756, 1008, 1134, 1296, 1512, 2268, 3024, 4536, 9072
Therefore, since 9072 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9072 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
