To determine if 6621 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6621.
If the factors of 6621 are only 6621 and 1, then we know that 6621 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6621 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6621 is only divisible by 1 and 6621, then it is a prime number, and if 6621 is divisible by more than 6621 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6621 are as follows:
