To determine if 6424 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6424.
If the factors of 6424 are only 6424 and 1, then we know that 6424 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6424 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6424 is only divisible by 1 and 6424, then it is a prime number, and if 6424 is divisible by more than 6424 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6424 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 73, 88, 146, 292, 584, 803, 1606, 3212, 6424
Therefore, since 6424 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6424 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6425 prime or composite?
