To determine if 6292 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6292.
If the factors of 6292 are only 6292 and 1, then we know that 6292 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6292 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6292 is only divisible by 1 and 6292, then it is a prime number, and if 6292 is divisible by more than 6292 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6292 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 13, 22, 26, 44, 52, 121, 143, 242, 286, 484, 572, 1573, 3146, 6292
Therefore, since 6292 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6292 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
