To determine if 9681 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9681.
If the factors of 9681 are only 9681 and 1, then we know that 9681 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9681 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9681 is only divisible by 1 and 9681, then it is a prime number, and if 9681 is divisible by more than 9681 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9681 are as follows:
