To determine if 9177 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9177.
If the factors of 9177 are only 9177 and 1, then we know that 9177 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9177 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9177 is only divisible by 1 and 9177, then it is a prime number, and if 9177 is divisible by more than 9177 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9177 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 19, 21, 23, 57, 69, 133, 161, 399, 437, 483, 1311, 3059, 9177
