To determine if 9174 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9174.
If the factors of 9174 are only 9174 and 1, then we know that 9174 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9174 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9174 is only divisible by 1 and 9174, then it is a prime number, and if 9174 is divisible by more than 9174 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9174 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 139, 278, 417, 834, 1529, 3058, 4587, 9174
