To determine if 6802 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6802.
If the factors of 6802 are only 6802 and 1, then we know that 6802 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6802 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6802 is only divisible by 1 and 6802, then it is a prime number, and if 6802 is divisible by more than 6802 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6802 are as follows:
1, 2, 19, 38, 179, 358, 3401, 6802
Therefore, since 6802 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6802 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
