To determine if 9230 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9230.
If the factors of 9230 are only 9230 and 1, then we know that 9230 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9230 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9230 is only divisible by 1 and 9230, then it is a prime number, and if 9230 is divisible by more than 9230 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9230 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 13, 26, 65, 71, 130, 142, 355, 710, 923, 1846, 4615, 9230
Therefore, since 9230 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9230 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9231 prime or composite?
