To determine if 9606 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9606.
If the factors of 9606 are only 9606 and 1, then we know that 9606 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9606 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9606 is only divisible by 1 and 9606, then it is a prime number, and if 9606 is divisible by more than 9606 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9606 are as follows:
