To determine if 6731 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6731.
If the factors of 6731 are only 6731 and 1, then we know that 6731 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6731 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6731 is only divisible by 1 and 6731, then it is a prime number, and if 6731 is divisible by more than 6731 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6731 are as follows:
1, 53, 127, 6731
Therefore, since 6731 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6731 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6732 prime or composite?
