To determine if 9251 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9251.
If the factors of 9251 are only 9251 and 1, then we know that 9251 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9251 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9251 is only divisible by 1 and 9251, then it is a prime number, and if 9251 is divisible by more than 9251 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9251 are as follows:
1, 11, 29, 319, 841, 9251
Therefore, since 9251 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9251 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9252 prime or composite?
