To determine if 9564 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9564.
If the factors of 9564 are only 9564 and 1, then we know that 9564 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9564 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9564 is only divisible by 1 and 9564, then it is a prime number, and if 9564 is divisible by more than 9564 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9564 are as follows:
