To determine if 6726 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6726.
If the factors of 6726 are only 6726 and 1, then we know that 6726 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6726 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6726 is only divisible by 1 and 6726, then it is a prime number, and if 6726 is divisible by more than 6726 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6726 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 19, 38, 57, 59, 114, 118, 177, 354, 1121, 2242, 3363, 6726
Therefore, since 6726 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6726 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
