To determine if 9490 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9490.
If the factors of 9490 are only 9490 and 1, then we know that 9490 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9490 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9490 is only divisible by 1 and 9490, then it is a prime number, and if 9490 is divisible by more than 9490 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9490 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 13, 26, 65, 73, 130, 146, 365, 730, 949, 1898, 4745, 9490
Therefore, since 9490 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9490 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
