To determine if 6602 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6602.
If the factors of 6602 are only 6602 and 1, then we know that 6602 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6602 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6602 is only divisible by 1 and 6602, then it is a prime number, and if 6602 is divisible by more than 6602 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6602 are as follows:
