To determine if 9504 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9504.
If the factors of 9504 are only 9504 and 1, then we know that 9504 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9504 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9504 is only divisible by 1 and 9504, then it is a prime number, and if 9504 is divisible by more than 9504 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9504 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 16, 18, 22, 24, 27, 32, 33, 36, 44, 48, 54, 66, 72, 88, 96, 99, 108, 132, 144, 176, 198, 216, 264, 288, 297, 352, 396, 432, 528, 594, 792, 864, 1056, 1188, 1584, 2376, 3168, 4752, 9504
Therefore, since 9504 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9504 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
