To determine if 6524 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6524.
If the factors of 6524 are only 6524 and 1, then we know that 6524 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6524 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6524 is only divisible by 1 and 6524, then it is a prime number, and if 6524 is divisible by more than 6524 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6524 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 233, 466, 932, 1631, 3262, 6524
Therefore, since 6524 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6524 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
