To determine if 9126 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9126.
If the factors of 9126 are only 9126 and 1, then we know that 9126 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9126 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9126 is only divisible by 1 and 9126, then it is a prime number, and if 9126 is divisible by more than 9126 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9126 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 27, 39, 54, 78, 117, 169, 234, 338, 351, 507, 702, 1014, 1521, 3042, 4563, 9126
Therefore, since 9126 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9126 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
