To determine if 9830 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9830.
If the factors of 9830 are only 9830 and 1, then we know that 9830 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9830 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9830 is only divisible by 1 and 9830, then it is a prime number, and if 9830 is divisible by more than 9830 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9830 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 983, 1966, 4915, 9830
Therefore, since 9830 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
