To determine if 9250 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9250.
If the factors of 9250 are only 9250 and 1, then we know that 9250 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9250 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9250 is only divisible by 1 and 9250, then it is a prime number, and if 9250 is divisible by more than 9250 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9250 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 37, 50, 74, 125, 185, 250, 370, 925, 1850, 4625, 9250
Therefore, since 9250 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9250 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9251 prime or composite?
