To determine if 6992 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6992.
If the factors of 6992 are only 6992 and 1, then we know that 6992 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6992 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6992 is only divisible by 1 and 6992, then it is a prime number, and if 6992 is divisible by more than 6992 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6992 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 23, 38, 46, 76, 92, 152, 184, 304, 368, 437, 874, 1748, 3496, 6992
Therefore, since 6992 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6992 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
