To determine if 9255 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9255.
If the factors of 9255 are only 9255 and 1, then we know that 9255 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9255 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9255 is only divisible by 1 and 9255, then it is a prime number, and if 9255 is divisible by more than 9255 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9255 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 617, 1851, 3085, 9255
