To determine if 9430 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9430.
If the factors of 9430 are only 9430 and 1, then we know that 9430 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9430 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9430 is only divisible by 1 and 9430, then it is a prime number, and if 9430 is divisible by more than 9430 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9430 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 23, 41, 46, 82, 115, 205, 230, 410, 943, 1886, 4715, 9430
Therefore, since 9430 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9430 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9431 prime or composite?
