To determine if 9760 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9760.
If the factors of 9760 are only 9760 and 1, then we know that 9760 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9760 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9760 is only divisible by 1 and 9760, then it is a prime number, and if 9760 is divisible by more than 9760 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9760 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 61, 80, 122, 160, 244, 305, 488, 610, 976, 1220, 1952, 2440, 4880, 9760
Therefore, since 9760 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9760 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9761 prime or composite?
