To determine if 6470 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6470.
If the factors of 6470 are only 6470 and 1, then we know that 6470 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6470 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6470 is only divisible by 1 and 6470, then it is a prime number, and if 6470 is divisible by more than 6470 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6470 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 647, 1294, 3235, 6470
