To determine if 9802 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9802.
If the factors of 9802 are only 9802 and 1, then we know that 9802 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9802 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9802 is only divisible by 1 and 9802, then it is a prime number, and if 9802 is divisible by more than 9802 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9802 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 29, 58, 169, 338, 377, 754, 4901, 9802
Therefore, since 9802 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9802 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
