To determine if 6832 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6832.
If the factors of 6832 are only 6832 and 1, then we know that 6832 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6832 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6832 is only divisible by 1 and 6832, then it is a prime number, and if 6832 is divisible by more than 6832 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6832 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 61, 112, 122, 244, 427, 488, 854, 976, 1708, 3416, 6832
Therefore, since 6832 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6832 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
