To determine if 9156 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9156.
If the factors of 9156 are only 9156 and 1, then we know that 9156 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9156 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9156 is only divisible by 1 and 9156, then it is a prime number, and if 9156 is divisible by more than 9156 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9156 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84, 109, 218, 327, 436, 654, 763, 1308, 1526, 2289, 3052, 4578, 9156
Therefore, since 9156 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9156 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
