To determine if 6940 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6940.
If the factors of 6940 are only 6940 and 1, then we know that 6940 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6940 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6940 is only divisible by 1 and 6940, then it is a prime number, and if 6940 is divisible by more than 6940 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6940 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 347, 694, 1388, 1735, 3470, 6940
Therefore, since 6940 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6940 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
