To determine if 9200 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9200.
If the factors of 9200 are only 9200 and 1, then we know that 9200 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9200 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9200 is only divisible by 1 and 9200, then it is a prime number, and if 9200 is divisible by more than 9200 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9200 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 23, 25, 40, 46, 50, 80, 92, 100, 115, 184, 200, 230, 368, 400, 460, 575, 920, 1150, 1840, 2300, 4600, 9200
Therefore, since 9200 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9200 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
