To determine if 9710 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9710.
If the factors of 9710 are only 9710 and 1, then we know that 9710 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9710 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9710 is only divisible by 1 and 9710, then it is a prime number, and if 9710 is divisible by more than 9710 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9710 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 971, 1942, 4855, 9710
Therefore, since 9710 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
