To determine if 9850 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9850.
If the factors of 9850 are only 9850 and 1, then we know that 9850 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9850 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9850 is only divisible by 1 and 9850, then it is a prime number, and if 9850 is divisible by more than 9850 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9850 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 197, 394, 985, 1970, 4925, 9850
Therefore, since 9850 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9850 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9851 prime or composite?
