To determine if 6600 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6600.
If the factors of 6600 are only 6600 and 1, then we know that 6600 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6600 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6600 is only divisible by 1 and 6600, then it is a prime number, and if 6600 is divisible by more than 6600 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6600 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 24, 25, 30, 33, 40, 44, 50, 55, 60, 66, 75, 88, 100, 110, 120, 132, 150, 165, 200, 220, 264, 275, 300, 330, 440, 550, 600, 660, 825, 1100, 1320, 1650, 2200, 3300, 6600
Therefore, since 6600 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6600 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6601 prime or composite?
