To determine if 6744 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6744.
If the factors of 6744 are only 6744 and 1, then we know that 6744 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6744 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6744 is only divisible by 1 and 6744, then it is a prime number, and if 6744 is divisible by more than 6744 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6744 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 281, 562, 843, 1124, 1686, 2248, 3372, 6744
Therefore, since 6744 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6744 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
