To determine if 6302 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6302.
If the factors of 6302 are only 6302 and 1, then we know that 6302 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6302 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6302 is only divisible by 1 and 6302, then it is a prime number, and if 6302 is divisible by more than 6302 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6302 are as follows:
1, 2, 23, 46, 137, 274, 3151, 6302
Therefore, since 6302 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6302 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
