To determine if 6800 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6800.
If the factors of 6800 are only 6800 and 1, then we know that 6800 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6800 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6800 is only divisible by 1 and 6800, then it is a prime number, and if 6800 is divisible by more than 6800 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6800 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 17, 20, 25, 34, 40, 50, 68, 80, 85, 100, 136, 170, 200, 272, 340, 400, 425, 680, 850, 1360, 1700, 3400, 6800
Therefore, since 6800 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6800 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6801 prime or composite?
