To determine if 6235 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6235.
If the factors of 6235 are only 6235 and 1, then we know that 6235 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6235 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6235 is only divisible by 1 and 6235, then it is a prime number, and if 6235 is divisible by more than 6235 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6235 are as follows:
1, 5, 29, 43, 145, 215, 1247, 6235
Therefore, since 6235 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
