To determine if 9648 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9648.
If the factors of 9648 are only 9648 and 1, then we know that 9648 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9648 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9648 is only divisible by 1 and 9648, then it is a prime number, and if 9648 is divisible by more than 9648 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9648 are as follows:
