To determine if 9585 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9585.
If the factors of 9585 are only 9585 and 1, then we know that 9585 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9585 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9585 is only divisible by 1 and 9585, then it is a prime number, and if 9585 is divisible by more than 9585 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9585 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 27, 45, 71, 135, 213, 355, 639, 1065, 1917, 3195, 9585
Therefore, since 9585 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9585 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
