To determine if 9576 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9576.
If the factors of 9576 are only 9576 and 1, then we know that 9576 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9576 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9576 is only divisible by 1 and 9576, then it is a prime number, and if 9576 is divisible by more than 9576 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9576 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 18, 19, 21, 24, 28, 36, 38, 42, 56, 57, 63, 72, 76, 84, 114, 126, 133, 152, 168, 171, 228, 252, 266, 342, 399, 456, 504, 532, 684, 798, 1064, 1197, 1368, 1596, 2394, 3192, 4788, 9576
Therefore, since 9576 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9576 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
