To determine if 9132 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9132.
If the factors of 9132 are only 9132 and 1, then we know that 9132 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9132 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9132 is only divisible by 1 and 9132, then it is a prime number, and if 9132 is divisible by more than 9132 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9132 are as follows:
