To determine if 6590 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6590.
If the factors of 6590 are only 6590 and 1, then we know that 6590 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6590 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6590 is only divisible by 1 and 6590, then it is a prime number, and if 6590 is divisible by more than 6590 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6590 are as follows:
