To determine if 6666 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6666.
If the factors of 6666 are only 6666 and 1, then we know that 6666 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6666 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6666 is only divisible by 1 and 6666, then it is a prime number, and if 6666 is divisible by more than 6666 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6666 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 101, 202, 303, 606, 1111, 2222, 3333, 6666
Therefore, since 6666 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6666 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6667 prime or composite?
