To determine if 9732 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9732.
If the factors of 9732 are only 9732 and 1, then we know that 9732 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9732 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9732 is only divisible by 1 and 9732, then it is a prime number, and if 9732 is divisible by more than 9732 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9732 are as follows:
