The number given is 546, and the question asks whether it is prime or composite.

- **Prime Number**: A prime number has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself.
- **Composite Number**: A composite number has more than two distinct positive divisors.

Let's check whether 546 is divisible by any numbers other than 1 and 546.

1. 546 is **even**, so it is divisible by 2:
   \[
   546 \div 2 = 273
   \]
   Since it is divisible by 2, it has at least three divisors: 1, 2, 273, and 546.

Therefore, **546 is a composite number**.
