To determine if 6715 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6715.
If the factors of 6715 are only 6715 and 1, then we know that 6715 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6715 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6715 is only divisible by 1 and 6715, then it is a prime number, and if 6715 is divisible by more than 6715 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6715 are as follows:
1, 5, 17, 79, 85, 395, 1343, 6715
Therefore, since 6715 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
