To determine if 9608 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9608.
If the factors of 9608 are only 9608 and 1, then we know that 9608 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9608 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9608 is only divisible by 1 and 9608, then it is a prime number, and if 9608 is divisible by more than 9608 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9608 are as follows:
