To determine if 6612 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6612.
If the factors of 6612 are only 6612 and 1, then we know that 6612 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6612 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6612 is only divisible by 1 and 6612, then it is a prime number, and if 6612 is divisible by more than 6612 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6612 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 19, 29, 38, 57, 58, 76, 87, 114, 116, 174, 228, 348, 551, 1102, 1653, 2204, 3306, 6612
Therefore, since 6612 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6612 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
