To determine if 6993 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6993.
If the factors of 6993 are only 6993 and 1, then we know that 6993 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6993 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6993 is only divisible by 1 and 6993, then it is a prime number, and if 6993 is divisible by more than 6993 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6993 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 27, 37, 63, 111, 189, 259, 333, 777, 999, 2331, 6993
Therefore, since 6993 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6993 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
