To determine if 9170 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9170.
If the factors of 9170 are only 9170 and 1, then we know that 9170 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9170 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9170 is only divisible by 1 and 9170, then it is a prime number, and if 9170 is divisible by more than 9170 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9170 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 70, 131, 262, 655, 917, 1310, 1834, 4585, 9170
Therefore, since 9170 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9170 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
