To determine if 9280 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9280.
If the factors of 9280 are only 9280 and 1, then we know that 9280 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9280 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9280 is only divisible by 1 and 9280, then it is a prime number, and if 9280 is divisible by more than 9280 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9280 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 29, 32, 40, 58, 64, 80, 116, 145, 160, 232, 290, 320, 464, 580, 928, 1160, 1856, 2320, 4640, 9280
Therefore, since 9280 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9280 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
