To determine if 9666 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9666.
If the factors of 9666 are only 9666 and 1, then we know that 9666 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9666 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9666 is only divisible by 1 and 9666, then it is a prime number, and if 9666 is divisible by more than 9666 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9666 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 179, 358, 537, 1074, 1611, 3222, 4833, 9666
Therefore, since 9666 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9666 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
