To determine if 9216 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9216.
If the factors of 9216 are only 9216 and 1, then we know that 9216 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9216 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9216 is only divisible by 1 and 9216, then it is a prime number, and if 9216 is divisible by more than 9216 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9216 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 32, 36, 48, 64, 72, 96, 128, 144, 192, 256, 288, 384, 512, 576, 768, 1024, 1152, 1536, 2304, 3072, 4608, 9216
Therefore, since 9216 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9216 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
