To determine if 6822 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6822.
If the factors of 6822 are only 6822 and 1, then we know that 6822 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6822 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6822 is only divisible by 1 and 6822, then it is a prime number, and if 6822 is divisible by more than 6822 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6822 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 379, 758, 1137, 2274, 3411, 6822
