To determine if 9735 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9735.
If the factors of 9735 are only 9735 and 1, then we know that 9735 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9735 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9735 is only divisible by 1 and 9735, then it is a prime number, and if 9735 is divisible by more than 9735 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9735 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 11, 15, 33, 55, 59, 165, 177, 295, 649, 885, 1947, 3245, 9735
Therefore, since 9735 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9735 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
