To determine if 6306 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6306.
If the factors of 6306 are only 6306 and 1, then we know that 6306 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6306 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6306 is only divisible by 1 and 6306, then it is a prime number, and if 6306 is divisible by more than 6306 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6306 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 1051, 2102, 3153, 6306
