To determine if 9630 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9630.
If the factors of 9630 are only 9630 and 1, then we know that 9630 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9630 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9630 is only divisible by 1 and 9630, then it is a prime number, and if 9630 is divisible by more than 9630 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9630 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90, 107, 214, 321, 535, 642, 963, 1070, 1605, 1926, 3210, 4815, 9630
Therefore, since 9630 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9630 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9631 prime or composite?
