To determine if 6262 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6262.
If the factors of 6262 are only 6262 and 1, then we know that 6262 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6262 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6262 is only divisible by 1 and 6262, then it is a prime number, and if 6262 is divisible by more than 6262 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6262 are as follows:
1, 2, 31, 62, 101, 202, 3131, 6262
