To determine if 9100 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9100.
If the factors of 9100 are only 9100 and 1, then we know that 9100 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9100 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9100 is only divisible by 1 and 9100, then it is a prime number, and if 9100 is divisible by more than 9100 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9100 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 13, 14, 20, 25, 26, 28, 35, 50, 52, 65, 70, 91, 100, 130, 140, 175, 182, 260, 325, 350, 364, 455, 650, 700, 910, 1300, 1820, 2275, 4550, 9100
Therefore, since 9100 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9100 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9101 prime or composite?
