To determine if 9616 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9616.
If the factors of 9616 are only 9616 and 1, then we know that 9616 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9616 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9616 is only divisible by 1 and 9616, then it is a prime number, and if 9616 is divisible by more than 9616 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9616 are as follows:
