To determine if 6305 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6305.
If the factors of 6305 are only 6305 and 1, then we know that 6305 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6305 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6305 is only divisible by 1 and 6305, then it is a prime number, and if 6305 is divisible by more than 6305 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6305 are as follows:
1, 5, 13, 65, 97, 485, 1261, 6305
Therefore, since 6305 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
