To determine if 9768 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9768.
If the factors of 9768 are only 9768 and 1, then we know that 9768 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9768 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9768 is only divisible by 1 and 9768, then it is a prime number, and if 9768 is divisible by more than 9768 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9768 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 37, 44, 66, 74, 88, 111, 132, 148, 222, 264, 296, 407, 444, 814, 888, 1221, 1628, 2442, 3256, 4884, 9768
Therefore, since 9768 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9768 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
