To determine if 9436 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9436.
If the factors of 9436 are only 9436 and 1, then we know that 9436 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9436 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9436 is only divisible by 1 and 9436, then it is a prime number, and if 9436 is divisible by more than 9436 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9436 are as follows:
