To determine if 6492 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6492.
If the factors of 6492 are only 6492 and 1, then we know that 6492 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6492 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6492 is only divisible by 1 and 6492, then it is a prime number, and if 6492 is divisible by more than 6492 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6492 are as follows:
