To determine if 9401 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9401.
If the factors of 9401 are only 9401 and 1, then we know that 9401 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9401 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9401 is only divisible by 1 and 9401, then it is a prime number, and if 9401 is divisible by more than 9401 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9401 are as follows:
1, 7, 17, 79, 119, 553, 1343, 9401
Therefore, since 9401 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9401 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
