To determine if 9804 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9804.
If the factors of 9804 are only 9804 and 1, then we know that 9804 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9804 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9804 is only divisible by 1 and 9804, then it is a prime number, and if 9804 is divisible by more than 9804 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9804 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 19, 38, 43, 57, 76, 86, 114, 129, 172, 228, 258, 516, 817, 1634, 2451, 3268, 4902, 9804
Therefore, since 9804 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9804 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
