To determine if 6452 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6452.
If the factors of 6452 are only 6452 and 1, then we know that 6452 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6452 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6452 is only divisible by 1 and 6452, then it is a prime number, and if 6452 is divisible by more than 6452 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6452 are as follows:
