To determine if 9232 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9232.
If the factors of 9232 are only 9232 and 1, then we know that 9232 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9232 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9232 is only divisible by 1 and 9232, then it is a prime number, and if 9232 is divisible by more than 9232 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9232 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 577, 1154, 2308, 4616, 9232
