To determine if 6762 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6762.
If the factors of 6762 are only 6762 and 1, then we know that 6762 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6762 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6762 is only divisible by 1 and 6762, then it is a prime number, and if 6762 is divisible by more than 6762 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6762 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 23, 42, 46, 49, 69, 98, 138, 147, 161, 294, 322, 483, 966, 1127, 2254, 3381, 6762
Therefore, since 6762 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6762 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
