To determine if 9480 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9480.
If the factors of 9480 are only 9480 and 1, then we know that 9480 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9480 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9480 is only divisible by 1 and 9480, then it is a prime number, and if 9480 is divisible by more than 9480 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9480 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 79, 120, 158, 237, 316, 395, 474, 632, 790, 948, 1185, 1580, 1896, 2370, 3160, 4740, 9480
Therefore, since 9480 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9480 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
