To determine if 6474 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6474.
If the factors of 6474 are only 6474 and 1, then we know that 6474 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6474 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6474 is only divisible by 1 and 6474, then it is a prime number, and if 6474 is divisible by more than 6474 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6474 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 78, 83, 166, 249, 498, 1079, 2158, 3237, 6474
Therefore, since 6474 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6474 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
