To determine if 9492 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9492.
If the factors of 9492 are only 9492 and 1, then we know that 9492 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9492 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9492 is only divisible by 1 and 9492, then it is a prime number, and if 9492 is divisible by more than 9492 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9492 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84, 113, 226, 339, 452, 678, 791, 1356, 1582, 2373, 3164, 4746, 9492
Therefore, since 9492 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9492 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
