To determine if 6517 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6517.
If the factors of 6517 are only 6517 and 1, then we know that 6517 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6517 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6517 is only divisible by 1 and 6517, then it is a prime number, and if 6517 is divisible by more than 6517 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6517 are as follows:
1, 7, 19, 49, 133, 343, 931, 6517
