To determine if 6716 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6716.
If the factors of 6716 are only 6716 and 1, then we know that 6716 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6716 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6716 is only divisible by 1 and 6716, then it is a prime number, and if 6716 is divisible by more than 6716 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6716 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 23, 46, 73, 92, 146, 292, 1679, 3358, 6716
Therefore, since 6716 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6716 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
