To determine if 9214 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9214.
If the factors of 9214 are only 9214 and 1, then we know that 9214 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9214 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9214 is only divisible by 1 and 9214, then it is a prime number, and if 9214 is divisible by more than 9214 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9214 are as follows:
