To determine if 9715 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9715.
If the factors of 9715 are only 9715 and 1, then we know that 9715 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9715 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9715 is only divisible by 1 and 9715, then it is a prime number, and if 9715 is divisible by more than 9715 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9715 are as follows:
