To determine if 9372 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9372.
If the factors of 9372 are only 9372 and 1, then we know that 9372 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9372 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9372 is only divisible by 1 and 9372, then it is a prime number, and if 9372 is divisible by more than 9372 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9372 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 44, 66, 71, 132, 142, 213, 284, 426, 781, 852, 1562, 2343, 3124, 4686, 9372
Therefore, since 9372 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9372 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
