To determine if 9651 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9651.
If the factors of 9651 are only 9651 and 1, then we know that 9651 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9651 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9651 is only divisible by 1 and 9651, then it is a prime number, and if 9651 is divisible by more than 9651 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9651 are as follows:
1, 3, 3217, 9651
Therefore, since 9651 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9651 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
