To determine if 6303 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6303.
If the factors of 6303 are only 6303 and 1, then we know that 6303 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6303 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6303 is only divisible by 1 and 6303, then it is a prime number, and if 6303 is divisible by more than 6303 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6303 are as follows:
1, 3, 11, 33, 191, 573, 2101, 6303
