To determine if 9536 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9536.
If the factors of 9536 are only 9536 and 1, then we know that 9536 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9536 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9536 is only divisible by 1 and 9536, then it is a prime number, and if 9536 is divisible by more than 9536 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9536 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 149, 298, 596, 1192, 2384, 4768, 9536
Therefore, since 9536 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
