To determine if 9231 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9231.
If the factors of 9231 are only 9231 and 1, then we know that 9231 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9231 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9231 is only divisible by 1 and 9231, then it is a prime number, and if 9231 is divisible by more than 9231 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9231 are as follows:
1, 3, 17, 51, 181, 543, 3077, 9231
Therefore, since 9231 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9231 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
