To determine if 9440 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9440.
If the factors of 9440 are only 9440 and 1, then we know that 9440 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9440 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9440 is only divisible by 1 and 9440, then it is a prime number, and if 9440 is divisible by more than 9440 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9440 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 59, 80, 118, 160, 236, 295, 472, 590, 944, 1180, 1888, 2360, 4720, 9440
Therefore, since 9440 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9440 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
