To determine if 6624 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6624.
If the factors of 6624 are only 6624 and 1, then we know that 6624 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6624 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6624 is only divisible by 1 and 6624, then it is a prime number, and if 6624 is divisible by more than 6624 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6624 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 23, 24, 32, 36, 46, 48, 69, 72, 92, 96, 138, 144, 184, 207, 276, 288, 368, 414, 552, 736, 828, 1104, 1656, 2208, 3312, 6624
Therefore, since 6624 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6624 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
