To determine if 1593 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1593.
If the factors of 1593 are only 1593 and 1, then we know that 1593 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1593 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1593 is only divisible by 1 and 1593, then it is a prime number, and if 1593 is divisible by more than 1593 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1593 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 59, 177, 531, 1593
Therefore, since 1593 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1593 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
