To determine if 9652 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9652.
If the factors of 9652 are only 9652 and 1, then we know that 9652 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9652 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9652 is only divisible by 1 and 9652, then it is a prime number, and if 9652 is divisible by more than 9652 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9652 are as follows:
