To determine if 6801 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6801.
If the factors of 6801 are only 6801 and 1, then we know that 6801 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6801 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6801 is only divisible by 1 and 6801, then it is a prime number, and if 6801 is divisible by more than 6801 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6801 are as follows:
1, 3, 2267, 6801
Therefore, since 6801 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6801 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6802 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 6801 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
