To determine if 6850 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6850.
If the factors of 6850 are only 6850 and 1, then we know that 6850 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6850 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6850 is only divisible by 1 and 6850, then it is a prime number, and if 6850 is divisible by more than 6850 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6850 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 137, 274, 685, 1370, 3425, 6850
Therefore, since 6850 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6850 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6851 prime or composite?
