To determine if 6508 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6508.
If the factors of 6508 are only 6508 and 1, then we know that 6508 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6508 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6508 is only divisible by 1 and 6508, then it is a prime number, and if 6508 is divisible by more than 6508 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6508 are as follows:
