To determine if 9240 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9240.
If the factors of 9240 are only 9240 and 1, then we know that 9240 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9240 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9240 is only divisible by 1 and 9240, then it is a prime number, and if 9240 is divisible by more than 9240 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9240 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 24, 28, 30, 33, 35, 40, 42, 44, 55, 56, 60, 66, 70, 77, 84, 88, 105, 110, 120, 132, 140, 154, 165, 168, 210, 220, 231, 264, 280, 308, 330, 385, 420, 440, 462, 616, 660, 770, 840, 924, 1155, 1320, 1540, 1848, 2310, 3080, 4620, 9240
Therefore, since 9240 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9240 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
