To determine if 9131 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9131.
If the factors of 9131 are only 9131 and 1, then we know that 9131 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9131 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9131 is only divisible by 1 and 9131, then it is a prime number, and if 9131 is divisible by more than 9131 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9131 are as follows:
1, 23, 397, 9131
Therefore, since 9131 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9131 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
