To determine if 9248 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9248.
If the factors of 9248 are only 9248 and 1, then we know that 9248 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9248 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9248 is only divisible by 1 and 9248, then it is a prime number, and if 9248 is divisible by more than 9248 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9248 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 32, 34, 68, 136, 272, 289, 544, 578, 1156, 2312, 4624, 9248
Therefore, since 9248 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9248 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
