To determine if 9168 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9168.
If the factors of 9168 are only 9168 and 1, then we know that 9168 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9168 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9168 is only divisible by 1 and 9168, then it is a prime number, and if 9168 is divisible by more than 9168 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9168 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 191, 382, 573, 764, 1146, 1528, 2292, 3056, 4584, 9168
Therefore, since 9168 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9168 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
