To determine if 9672 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9672.
If the factors of 9672 are only 9672 and 1, then we know that 9672 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9672 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9672 is only divisible by 1 and 9672, then it is a prime number, and if 9672 is divisible by more than 9672 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9672 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 24, 26, 31, 39, 52, 62, 78, 93, 104, 124, 156, 186, 248, 312, 372, 403, 744, 806, 1209, 1612, 2418, 3224, 4836, 9672
Therefore, since 9672 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9672 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
