To determine if 9798 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9798.
If the factors of 9798 are only 9798 and 1, then we know that 9798 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9798 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9798 is only divisible by 1 and 9798, then it is a prime number, and if 9798 is divisible by more than 9798 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9798 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 71, 138, 142, 213, 426, 1633, 3266, 4899, 9798
