To determine if 6603 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6603.
If the factors of 6603 are only 6603 and 1, then we know that 6603 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6603 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6603 is only divisible by 1 and 6603, then it is a prime number, and if 6603 is divisible by more than 6603 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6603 are as follows:
1, 3, 31, 71, 93, 213, 2201, 6603
