To determine if 6723 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6723.
If the factors of 6723 are only 6723 and 1, then we know that 6723 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6723 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6723 is only divisible by 1 and 6723, then it is a prime number, and if 6723 is divisible by more than 6723 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6723 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 83, 249, 747, 2241, 6723
