To determine if 9160 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9160.
If the factors of 9160 are only 9160 and 1, then we know that 9160 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9160 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9160 is only divisible by 1 and 9160, then it is a prime number, and if 9160 is divisible by more than 9160 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9160 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40, 229, 458, 916, 1145, 1832, 2290, 4580, 9160
Therefore, since 9160 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9160 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9161 prime or composite?
