To determine if 6301 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6301.
If the factors of 6301 are only 6301 and 1, then we know that 6301 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6301 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6301 is only divisible by 1 and 6301, then it is a prime number, and if 6301 is divisible by more than 6301 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6301 are as follows:
