To determine if 6966 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6966.
If the factors of 6966 are only 6966 and 1, then we know that 6966 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6966 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6966 is only divisible by 1 and 6966, then it is a prime number, and if 6966 is divisible by more than 6966 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6966 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 43, 54, 81, 86, 129, 162, 258, 387, 774, 1161, 2322, 3483, 6966
Therefore, since 6966 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6966 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
