To determine if 6960 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6960.
If the factors of 6960 are only 6960 and 1, then we know that 6960 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6960 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6960 is only divisible by 1 and 6960, then it is a prime number, and if 6960 is divisible by more than 6960 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6960 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 29, 30, 40, 48, 58, 60, 80, 87, 116, 120, 145, 174, 232, 240, 290, 348, 435, 464, 580, 696, 870, 1160, 1392, 1740, 2320, 3480, 6960
Therefore, since 6960 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6960 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6961 prime or composite?
