To determine if 9261 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9261.
If the factors of 9261 are only 9261 and 1, then we know that 9261 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9261 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9261 is only divisible by 1 and 9261, then it is a prime number, and if 9261 is divisible by more than 9261 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9261 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 27, 49, 63, 147, 189, 343, 441, 1029, 1323, 3087, 9261
Therefore, since 9261 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9261 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9262 prime or composite?
