To determine if 6846 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6846.
If the factors of 6846 are only 6846 and 1, then we know that 6846 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6846 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6846 is only divisible by 1 and 6846, then it is a prime number, and if 6846 is divisible by more than 6846 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6846 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 163, 326, 489, 978, 1141, 2282, 3423, 6846
Therefore, since 6846 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6846 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
