To determine if 9252 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9252.
If the factors of 9252 are only 9252 and 1, then we know that 9252 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9252 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9252 is only divisible by 1 and 9252, then it is a prime number, and if 9252 is divisible by more than 9252 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9252 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 257, 514, 771, 1028, 1542, 2313, 3084, 4626, 9252
Therefore, since 9252 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9252 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
