To determine if 6572 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6572.
If the factors of 6572 are only 6572 and 1, then we know that 6572 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6572 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6572 is only divisible by 1 and 6572, then it is a prime number, and if 6572 is divisible by more than 6572 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6572 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 31, 53, 62, 106, 124, 212, 1643, 3286, 6572
Therefore, since 6572 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6572 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
