To determine if 6290 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6290.
If the factors of 6290 are only 6290 and 1, then we know that 6290 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6290 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6290 is only divisible by 1 and 6290, then it is a prime number, and if 6290 is divisible by more than 6290 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6290 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 34, 37, 74, 85, 170, 185, 370, 629, 1258, 3145, 6290
Therefore, since 6290 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6290 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
