To determine if 9690 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9690.
If the factors of 9690 are only 9690 and 1, then we know that 9690 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9690 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9690 is only divisible by 1 and 9690, then it is a prime number, and if 9690 is divisible by more than 9690 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9690 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 17, 19, 30, 34, 38, 51, 57, 85, 95, 102, 114, 170, 190, 255, 285, 323, 510, 570, 646, 969, 1615, 1938, 3230, 4845, 9690
Therefore, since 9690 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9690 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
