To determine if 6711 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6711.
If the factors of 6711 are only 6711 and 1, then we know that 6711 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6711 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6711 is only divisible by 1 and 6711, then it is a prime number, and if 6711 is divisible by more than 6711 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6711 are as follows:
1, 3, 2237, 6711
Therefore, since 6711 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6711 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
