To determine if 6948 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6948.
If the factors of 6948 are only 6948 and 1, then we know that 6948 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6948 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6948 is only divisible by 1 and 6948, then it is a prime number, and if 6948 is divisible by more than 6948 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6948 are as follows:
