To determine if 6950 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6950.
If the factors of 6950 are only 6950 and 1, then we know that 6950 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6950 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6950 is only divisible by 1 and 6950, then it is a prime number, and if 6950 is divisible by more than 6950 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6950 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 139, 278, 695, 1390, 3475, 6950
Therefore, since 6950 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6950 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6951 prime or composite?
