To determine if 6258 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6258.
If the factors of 6258 are only 6258 and 1, then we know that 6258 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6258 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6258 is only divisible by 1 and 6258, then it is a prime number, and if 6258 is divisible by more than 6258 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6258 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 149, 298, 447, 894, 1043, 2086, 3129, 6258
Therefore, since 6258 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6258 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6259 prime or composite?
