To determine if 9580 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9580.
If the factors of 9580 are only 9580 and 1, then we know that 9580 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9580 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9580 is only divisible by 1 and 9580, then it is a prime number, and if 9580 is divisible by more than 9580 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9580 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 479, 958, 1916, 2395, 4790, 9580
Therefore, since 9580 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9580 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
