To determine if 6534 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6534.
If the factors of 6534 are only 6534 and 1, then we know that 6534 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6534 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6534 is only divisible by 1 and 6534, then it is a prime number, and if 6534 is divisible by more than 6534 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6534 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 27, 33, 54, 66, 99, 121, 198, 242, 297, 363, 594, 726, 1089, 2178, 3267, 6534
Therefore, since 6534 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6534 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
