To determine if 6655 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6655.
If the factors of 6655 are only 6655 and 1, then we know that 6655 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6655 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6655 is only divisible by 1 and 6655, then it is a prime number, and if 6655 is divisible by more than 6655 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6655 are as follows:
