To determine if 9684 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9684.
If the factors of 9684 are only 9684 and 1, then we know that 9684 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9684 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9684 is only divisible by 1 and 9684, then it is a prime number, and if 9684 is divisible by more than 9684 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9684 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 269, 538, 807, 1076, 1614, 2421, 3228, 4842, 9684
Therefore, since 9684 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9684 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
