To determine if 9591 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9591.
If the factors of 9591 are only 9591 and 1, then we know that 9591 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9591 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9591 is only divisible by 1 and 9591, then it is a prime number, and if 9591 is divisible by more than 9591 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9591 are as follows:
