To determine if 9867 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9867.
If the factors of 9867 are only 9867 and 1, then we know that 9867 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9867 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9867 is only divisible by 1 and 9867, then it is a prime number, and if 9867 is divisible by more than 9867 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9867 are as follows:
1, 3, 11, 13, 23, 33, 39, 69, 143, 253, 299, 429, 759, 897, 3289, 9867
Therefore, since 9867 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9867 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
