To determine if 6251 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6251.
If the factors of 6251 are only 6251 and 1, then we know that 6251 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6251 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6251 is only divisible by 1 and 6251, then it is a prime number, and if 6251 is divisible by more than 6251 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6251 are as follows:
1, 7, 19, 47, 133, 329, 893, 6251
Therefore, since 6251 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6251 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
