To determine if 6712 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6712.
If the factors of 6712 are only 6712 and 1, then we know that 6712 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6712 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6712 is only divisible by 1 and 6712, then it is a prime number, and if 6712 is divisible by more than 6712 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6712 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 839, 1678, 3356, 6712
