To determine if 6688 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6688.
If the factors of 6688 are only 6688 and 1, then we know that 6688 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6688 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6688 is only divisible by 1 and 6688, then it is a prime number, and if 6688 is divisible by more than 6688 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6688 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 19, 22, 32, 38, 44, 76, 88, 152, 176, 209, 304, 352, 418, 608, 836, 1672, 3344, 6688
Therefore, since 6688 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6688 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
