To determine if 9140 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9140.
If the factors of 9140 are only 9140 and 1, then we know that 9140 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9140 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9140 is only divisible by 1 and 9140, then it is a prime number, and if 9140 is divisible by more than 9140 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9140 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 457, 914, 1828, 2285, 4570, 9140
Therefore, since 9140 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9140 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
