To determine if 6273 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6273.
If the factors of 6273 are only 6273 and 1, then we know that 6273 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6273 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6273 is only divisible by 1 and 6273, then it is a prime number, and if 6273 is divisible by more than 6273 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6273 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 17, 41, 51, 123, 153, 369, 697, 2091, 6273
Therefore, since 6273 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6273 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
