To determine if 6565 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6565.
If the factors of 6565 are only 6565 and 1, then we know that 6565 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6565 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6565 is only divisible by 1 and 6565, then it is a prime number, and if 6565 is divisible by more than 6565 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6565 are as follows:
1, 5, 13, 65, 101, 505, 1313, 6565
Therefore, since 6565 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
