To determine if 7509 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7509.
If the factors of 7509 are only 7509 and 1, then we know that 7509 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7509 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7509 is only divisible by 1 and 7509, then it is a prime number, and if 7509 is divisible by more than 7509 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7509 are as follows:
