To determine if 6630 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6630.
If the factors of 6630 are only 6630 and 1, then we know that 6630 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6630 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6630 is only divisible by 1 and 6630, then it is a prime number, and if 6630 is divisible by more than 6630 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6630 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 13, 15, 17, 26, 30, 34, 39, 51, 65, 78, 85, 102, 130, 170, 195, 221, 255, 390, 442, 510, 663, 1105, 1326, 2210, 3315, 6630
Therefore, since 6630 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6630 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6631 prime or composite?
