To determine if 9756 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9756.
If the factors of 9756 are only 9756 and 1, then we know that 9756 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9756 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9756 is only divisible by 1 and 9756, then it is a prime number, and if 9756 is divisible by more than 9756 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9756 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 271, 542, 813, 1084, 1626, 2439, 3252, 4878, 9756
Therefore, since 9756 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9756 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
