To determine if 9650 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9650.
If the factors of 9650 are only 9650 and 1, then we know that 9650 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9650 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9650 is only divisible by 1 and 9650, then it is a prime number, and if 9650 is divisible by more than 9650 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9650 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 193, 386, 965, 1930, 4825, 9650
Therefore, since 9650 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9650 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9651 prime or composite?
