To determine if 9761 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9761.
If the factors of 9761 are only 9761 and 1, then we know that 9761 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9761 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9761 is only divisible by 1 and 9761, then it is a prime number, and if 9761 is divisible by more than 9761 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9761 are as follows:
