To determine if 9470 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9470.
If the factors of 9470 are only 9470 and 1, then we know that 9470 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9470 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9470 is only divisible by 1 and 9470, then it is a prime number, and if 9470 is divisible by more than 9470 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9470 are as follows:
