To determine if 6279 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6279.
If the factors of 6279 are only 6279 and 1, then we know that 6279 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6279 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6279 is only divisible by 1 and 6279, then it is a prime number, and if 6279 is divisible by more than 6279 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6279 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 13, 21, 23, 39, 69, 91, 161, 273, 299, 483, 897, 2093, 6279
Therefore, since 6279 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6279 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
