To determine if 9472 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9472.
If the factors of 9472 are only 9472 and 1, then we know that 9472 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9472 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9472 is only divisible by 1 and 9472, then it is a prime number, and if 9472 is divisible by more than 9472 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9472 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 37, 64, 74, 128, 148, 256, 296, 592, 1184, 2368, 4736, 9472
Therefore, since 9472 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9472 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
