To determine if 6708 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6708.
If the factors of 6708 are only 6708 and 1, then we know that 6708 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6708 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6708 is only divisible by 1 and 6708, then it is a prime number, and if 6708 is divisible by more than 6708 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6708 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 43, 52, 78, 86, 129, 156, 172, 258, 516, 559, 1118, 1677, 2236, 3354, 6708
Therefore, since 6708 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6708 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
