To determine if 6532 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6532.
If the factors of 6532 are only 6532 and 1, then we know that 6532 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6532 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6532 is only divisible by 1 and 6532, then it is a prime number, and if 6532 is divisible by more than 6532 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6532 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 23, 46, 71, 92, 142, 284, 1633, 3266, 6532
Therefore, since 6532 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6532 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
