To determine if 6699 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6699.
If the factors of 6699 are only 6699 and 1, then we know that 6699 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6699 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6699 is only divisible by 1 and 6699, then it is a prime number, and if 6699 is divisible by more than 6699 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6699 are as follows:
