To determine if 6732 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6732.
If the factors of 6732 are only 6732 and 1, then we know that 6732 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6732 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6732 is only divisible by 1 and 6732, then it is a prime number, and if 6732 is divisible by more than 6732 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6732 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 17, 18, 22, 33, 34, 36, 44, 51, 66, 68, 99, 102, 132, 153, 187, 198, 204, 306, 374, 396, 561, 612, 748, 1122, 1683, 2244, 3366, 6732
Therefore, since 6732 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6732 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
