To determine if 6498 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6498.
If the factors of 6498 are only 6498 and 1, then we know that 6498 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6498 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6498 is only divisible by 1 and 6498, then it is a prime number, and if 6498 is divisible by more than 6498 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6498 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342, 361, 722, 1083, 2166, 3249, 6498
Therefore, since 6498 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6498 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
