To determine if 9471 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9471.
If the factors of 9471 are only 9471 and 1, then we know that 9471 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9471 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9471 is only divisible by 1 and 9471, then it is a prime number, and if 9471 is divisible by more than 9471 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9471 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 41, 77, 123, 231, 287, 451, 861, 1353, 3157, 9471
Therefore, since 9471 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9471 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
