To determine if 8595 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8595.
If the factors of 8595 are only 8595 and 1, then we know that 8595 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8595 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8595 is only divisible by 1 and 8595, then it is a prime number, and if 8595 is divisible by more than 8595 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8595 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45, 191, 573, 955, 1719, 2865, 8595
