To determine if 9271 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9271.
If the factors of 9271 are only 9271 and 1, then we know that 9271 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9271 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9271 is only divisible by 1 and 9271, then it is a prime number, and if 9271 is divisible by more than 9271 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9271 are as follows:
