The atomic number of an atom is determined by the number of protons it contains. In this case, you mentioned that the atom has 92 protons.

The atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom since atoms are electrically neutral, meaning they have an equal number of protons and electrons.

Therefore, the atomic number of an atom with 92 protons and 92 electrons is also 92.
