To determine if 6608 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6608.
If the factors of 6608 are only 6608 and 1, then we know that 6608 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6608 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6608 is only divisible by 1 and 6608, then it is a prime number, and if 6608 is divisible by more than 6608 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6608 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 59, 112, 118, 236, 413, 472, 826, 944, 1652, 3304, 6608
Therefore, since 6608 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6608 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
