To determine if 9400 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9400.
If the factors of 9400 are only 9400 and 1, then we know that 9400 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9400 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9400 is only divisible by 1 and 9400, then it is a prime number, and if 9400 is divisible by more than 9400 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9400 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 47, 50, 94, 100, 188, 200, 235, 376, 470, 940, 1175, 1880, 2350, 4700, 9400
Therefore, since 9400 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9400 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9401 prime or composite?
