To determine if 9288 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9288.
If the factors of 9288 are only 9288 and 1, then we know that 9288 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9288 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9288 is only divisible by 1 and 9288, then it is a prime number, and if 9288 is divisible by more than 9288 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9288 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 43, 54, 72, 86, 108, 129, 172, 216, 258, 344, 387, 516, 774, 1032, 1161, 1548, 2322, 3096, 4644, 9288
Therefore, since 9288 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9288 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
