To determine if 9222 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9222.
If the factors of 9222 are only 9222 and 1, then we know that 9222 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9222 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9222 is only divisible by 1 and 9222, then it is a prime number, and if 9222 is divisible by more than 9222 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9222 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 29, 53, 58, 87, 106, 159, 174, 318, 1537, 3074, 4611, 9222
Therefore, since 9222 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9222 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
