To determine if 6756 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6756.
If the factors of 6756 are only 6756 and 1, then we know that 6756 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6756 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6756 is only divisible by 1 and 6756, then it is a prime number, and if 6756 is divisible by more than 6756 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6756 are as follows:
