To determine if 6223 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6223.
If the factors of 6223 are only 6223 and 1, then we know that 6223 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6223 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6223 is only divisible by 1 and 6223, then it is a prime number, and if 6223 is divisible by more than 6223 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6223 are as follows:
