To determine if 9640 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9640.
If the factors of 9640 are only 9640 and 1, then we know that 9640 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9640 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9640 is only divisible by 1 and 9640, then it is a prime number, and if 9640 is divisible by more than 9640 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9640 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40, 241, 482, 964, 1205, 1928, 2410, 4820, 9640
Therefore, since 9640 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9640 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9641 prime or composite?
