To determine if 8691 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8691.
If the factors of 8691 are only 8691 and 1, then we know that 8691 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8691 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8691 is only divisible by 1 and 8691, then it is a prime number, and if 8691 is divisible by more than 8691 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8691 are as follows:
