To determine if 9254 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9254.
If the factors of 9254 are only 9254 and 1, then we know that 9254 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9254 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9254 is only divisible by 1 and 9254, then it is a prime number, and if 9254 is divisible by more than 9254 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9254 are as follows:
