To determine if 6304 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6304.
If the factors of 6304 are only 6304 and 1, then we know that 6304 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6304 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6304 is only divisible by 1 and 6304, then it is a prime number, and if 6304 is divisible by more than 6304 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6304 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 197, 394, 788, 1576, 3152, 6304
Therefore, since 6304 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6304 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
