To determine if 9384 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9384.
If the factors of 9384 are only 9384 and 1, then we know that 9384 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9384 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9384 is only divisible by 1 and 9384, then it is a prime number, and if 9384 is divisible by more than 9384 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9384 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 23, 24, 34, 46, 51, 68, 69, 92, 102, 136, 138, 184, 204, 276, 391, 408, 552, 782, 1173, 1564, 2346, 3128, 4692, 9384
