To determine if 9316 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9316.
If the factors of 9316 are only 9316 and 1, then we know that 9316 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9316 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9316 is only divisible by 1 and 9316, then it is a prime number, and if 9316 is divisible by more than 9316 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9316 are as follows:
