To determine if 6591 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6591.
If the factors of 6591 are only 6591 and 1, then we know that 6591 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6591 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6591 is only divisible by 1 and 6591, then it is a prime number, and if 6591 is divisible by more than 6591 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6591 are as follows:
1, 3, 13, 39, 169, 507, 2197, 6591
Therefore, since 6591 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
