To determine if 6578 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6578.
If the factors of 6578 are only 6578 and 1, then we know that 6578 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6578 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6578 is only divisible by 1 and 6578, then it is a prime number, and if 6578 is divisible by more than 6578 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6578 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 13, 22, 23, 26, 46, 143, 253, 286, 299, 506, 598, 3289, 6578
Therefore, since 6578 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6578 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
