To determine if 9088 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9088.
If the factors of 9088 are only 9088 and 1, then we know that 9088 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9088 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9088 is only divisible by 1 and 9088, then it is a prime number, and if 9088 is divisible by more than 9088 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9088 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 71, 128, 142, 284, 568, 1136, 2272, 4544, 9088
Therefore, since 9088 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9088 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
