To determine if 9196 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9196.
If the factors of 9196 are only 9196 and 1, then we know that 9196 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9196 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9196 is only divisible by 1 and 9196, then it is a prime number, and if 9196 is divisible by more than 9196 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9196 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 19, 22, 38, 44, 76, 121, 209, 242, 418, 484, 836, 2299, 4598, 9196
