To determine if 9342 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9342.
If the factors of 9342 are only 9342 and 1, then we know that 9342 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9342 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9342 is only divisible by 1 and 9342, then it is a prime number, and if 9342 is divisible by more than 9342 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9342 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 173, 346, 519, 1038, 1557, 3114, 4671, 9342
Therefore, since 9342 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9342 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
