To determine if 6704 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6704.
If the factors of 6704 are only 6704 and 1, then we know that 6704 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6704 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6704 is only divisible by 1 and 6704, then it is a prime number, and if 6704 is divisible by more than 6704 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6704 are as follows:
