To determine if 6288 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6288.
If the factors of 6288 are only 6288 and 1, then we know that 6288 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6288 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6288 is only divisible by 1 and 6288, then it is a prime number, and if 6288 is divisible by more than 6288 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6288 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 131, 262, 393, 524, 786, 1048, 1572, 2096, 3144, 6288
Therefore, since 6288 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6288 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
