To determine if 6902 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6902.
If the factors of 6902 are only 6902 and 1, then we know that 6902 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6902 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6902 is only divisible by 1 and 6902, then it is a prime number, and if 6902 is divisible by more than 6902 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6902 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 29, 34, 58, 119, 203, 238, 406, 493, 986, 3451, 6902
Therefore, since 6902 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6902 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
