To determine if 6678 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6678.
If the factors of 6678 are only 6678 and 1, then we know that 6678 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6678 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6678 is only divisible by 1 and 6678, then it is a prime number, and if 6678 is divisible by more than 6678 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6678 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, 53, 63, 106, 126, 159, 318, 371, 477, 742, 954, 1113, 2226, 3339, 6678
Therefore, since 6678 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6678 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
