To determine if 6261 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6261.
If the factors of 6261 are only 6261 and 1, then we know that 6261 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6261 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6261 is only divisible by 1 and 6261, then it is a prime number, and if 6261 is divisible by more than 6261 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6261 are as follows:
