To determine if 6714 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6714.
If the factors of 6714 are only 6714 and 1, then we know that 6714 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6714 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6714 is only divisible by 1 and 6714, then it is a prime number, and if 6714 is divisible by more than 6714 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6714 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 373, 746, 1119, 2238, 3357, 6714
Therefore, since 6714 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6714 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
