To determine if 9700 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9700.
If the factors of 9700 are only 9700 and 1, then we know that 9700 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9700 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9700 is only divisible by 1 and 9700, then it is a prime number, and if 9700 is divisible by more than 9700 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9700 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 97, 100, 194, 388, 485, 970, 1940, 2425, 4850, 9700
Therefore, since 9700 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9700 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9701 prime or composite?
