To determine if 6275 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6275.
If the factors of 6275 are only 6275 and 1, then we know that 6275 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6275 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6275 is only divisible by 1 and 6275, then it is a prime number, and if 6275 is divisible by more than 6275 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6275 are as follows:
1, 5, 25, 251, 1255, 6275
Therefore, since 6275 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
