To determine if 6968 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6968.
If the factors of 6968 are only 6968 and 1, then we know that 6968 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6968 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6968 is only divisible by 1 and 6968, then it is a prime number, and if 6968 is divisible by more than 6968 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6968 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 52, 67, 104, 134, 268, 536, 871, 1742, 3484, 6968
Therefore, since 6968 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6968 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
