To determine if 6280 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6280.
If the factors of 6280 are only 6280 and 1, then we know that 6280 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6280 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6280 is only divisible by 1 and 6280, then it is a prime number, and if 6280 is divisible by more than 6280 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6280 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40, 157, 314, 628, 785, 1256, 1570, 3140, 6280
Therefore, since 6280 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6280 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6281 prime or composite?
