To determine if 6936 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6936.
If the factors of 6936 are only 6936 and 1, then we know that 6936 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6936 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6936 is only divisible by 1 and 6936, then it is a prime number, and if 6936 is divisible by more than 6936 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6936 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 24, 34, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 289, 408, 578, 867, 1156, 1734, 2312, 3468, 6936
Therefore, since 6936 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6936 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
