Because if you can make it out of threes then three is a factor and primes can't be broken into factors (except 1 and themselves).

Because the definition of a prime number is a number only divisible by itself and 1. Since 3^6 can be written as 3 * 3^5, it can be divisible by 3. Therefore, it cannot be a prime number.

what do you mean 3 to the 6th power or 6 to the 3rd power?
if its 3 to the 6th than you do 3*3*3=27 than its not prime because it can be multiplied.
