To determine if 9435 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9435.
If the factors of 9435 are only 9435 and 1, then we know that 9435 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9435 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9435 is only divisible by 1 and 9435, then it is a prime number, and if 9435 is divisible by more than 9435 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9435 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 37, 51, 85, 111, 185, 255, 555, 629, 1887, 3145, 9435
Therefore, since 9435 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9435 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
