To determine if 6502 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6502.
If the factors of 6502 are only 6502 and 1, then we know that 6502 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6502 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6502 is only divisible by 1 and 6502, then it is a prime number, and if 6502 is divisible by more than 6502 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6502 are as follows:
1, 2, 3251, 6502
Therefore, since 6502 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6502 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
