To determine if 9164 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9164.
If the factors of 9164 are only 9164 and 1, then we know that 9164 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9164 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9164 is only divisible by 1 and 9164, then it is a prime number, and if 9164 is divisible by more than 9164 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9164 are as follows:
