To determine if 6760 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6760.
If the factors of 6760 are only 6760 and 1, then we know that 6760 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6760 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6760 is only divisible by 1 and 6760, then it is a prime number, and if 6760 is divisible by more than 6760 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6760 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 169, 260, 338, 520, 676, 845, 1352, 1690, 3380, 6760
Therefore, since 6760 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6760 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6761 prime or composite?
