To determine if 6307 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6307.
If the factors of 6307 are only 6307 and 1, then we know that 6307 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6307 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6307 is only divisible by 1 and 6307, then it is a prime number, and if 6307 is divisible by more than 6307 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6307 are as follows:
