To determine if 6260 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6260.
If the factors of 6260 are only 6260 and 1, then we know that 6260 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6260 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6260 is only divisible by 1 and 6260, then it is a prime number, and if 6260 is divisible by more than 6260 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6260 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 313, 626, 1252, 1565, 3130, 6260
Therefore, since 6260 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6260 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6261 prime or composite?
