To determine if 6897 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6897.
If the factors of 6897 are only 6897 and 1, then we know that 6897 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6897 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6897 is only divisible by 1 and 6897, then it is a prime number, and if 6897 is divisible by more than 6897 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6897 are as follows:
