To determine if 6252 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6252.
If the factors of 6252 are only 6252 and 1, then we know that 6252 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6252 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6252 is only divisible by 1 and 6252, then it is a prime number, and if 6252 is divisible by more than 6252 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6252 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 521, 1042, 1563, 2084, 3126, 6252
Therefore, since 6252 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6252 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6253 prime or composite?
