To determine if 9894 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9894.
If the factors of 9894 are only 9894 and 1, then we know that 9894 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9894 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9894 is only divisible by 1 and 9894, then it is a prime number, and if 9894 is divisible by more than 9894 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9894 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 17, 34, 51, 97, 102, 194, 291, 582, 1649, 3298, 4947, 9894
