To determine if 6736 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6736.
If the factors of 6736 are only 6736 and 1, then we know that 6736 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6736 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6736 is only divisible by 1 and 6736, then it is a prime number, and if 6736 is divisible by more than 6736 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6736 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 421, 842, 1684, 3368, 6736
