To determine if 6471 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6471.
If the factors of 6471 are only 6471 and 1, then we know that 6471 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6471 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6471 is only divisible by 1 and 6471, then it is a prime number, and if 6471 is divisible by more than 6471 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6471 are as follows:
