To determine if 9424 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9424.
If the factors of 9424 are only 9424 and 1, then we know that 9424 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9424 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9424 is only divisible by 1 and 9424, then it is a prime number, and if 9424 is divisible by more than 9424 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9424 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 31, 38, 62, 76, 124, 152, 248, 304, 496, 589, 1178, 2356, 4712, 9424
Therefore, since 9424 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9424 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
