To determine if 6696 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6696.
If the factors of 6696 are only 6696 and 1, then we know that 6696 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6696 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6696 is only divisible by 1 and 6696, then it is a prime number, and if 6696 is divisible by more than 6696 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6696 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 31, 36, 54, 62, 72, 93, 108, 124, 186, 216, 248, 279, 372, 558, 744, 837, 1116, 1674, 2232, 3348, 6696
Therefore, since 6696 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6696 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
