To determine if 9910 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9910.
If the factors of 9910 are only 9910 and 1, then we know that 9910 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9910 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9910 is only divisible by 1 and 9910, then it is a prime number, and if 9910 is divisible by more than 9910 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9910 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 991, 1982, 4955, 9910
