To determine if 9264 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9264.
If the factors of 9264 are only 9264 and 1, then we know that 9264 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9264 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9264 is only divisible by 1 and 9264, then it is a prime number, and if 9264 is divisible by more than 9264 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9264 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 193, 386, 579, 772, 1158, 1544, 2316, 3088, 4632, 9264
Therefore, since 9264 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9264 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
