To determine if 9936 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9936.
If the factors of 9936 are only 9936 and 1, then we know that 9936 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9936 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9936 is only divisible by 1 and 9936, then it is a prime number, and if 9936 is divisible by more than 9936 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9936 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 23, 24, 27, 36, 46, 48, 54, 69, 72, 92, 108, 138, 144, 184, 207, 216, 276, 368, 414, 432, 552, 621, 828, 1104, 1242, 1656, 2484, 3312, 4968, 9936
Therefore, since 9936 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9936 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
