To determine if 6264 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6264.
If the factors of 6264 are only 6264 and 1, then we know that 6264 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6264 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6264 is only divisible by 1 and 6264, then it is a prime number, and if 6264 is divisible by more than 6264 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6264 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 29, 36, 54, 58, 72, 87, 108, 116, 174, 216, 232, 261, 348, 522, 696, 783, 1044, 1566, 2088, 3132, 6264
Therefore, since 6264 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6264 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
