To determine if 9705 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9705.
If the factors of 9705 are only 9705 and 1, then we know that 9705 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9705 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9705 is only divisible by 1 and 9705, then it is a prime number, and if 9705 is divisible by more than 9705 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9705 are as follows:
