To determine if 9460 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9460.
If the factors of 9460 are only 9460 and 1, then we know that 9460 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9460 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9460 is only divisible by 1 and 9460, then it is a prime number, and if 9460 is divisible by more than 9460 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9460 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 43, 44, 55, 86, 110, 172, 215, 220, 430, 473, 860, 946, 1892, 2365, 4730, 9460
Therefore, since 9460 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9460 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
