To determine if 9150 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9150.
If the factors of 9150 are only 9150 and 1, then we know that 9150 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9150 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9150 is only divisible by 1 and 9150, then it is a prime number, and if 9150 is divisible by more than 9150 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9150 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 61, 75, 122, 150, 183, 305, 366, 610, 915, 1525, 1830, 3050, 4575, 9150
Therefore, since 9150 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9150 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9151 prime or composite?
