To determine if 6308 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6308.
If the factors of 6308 are only 6308 and 1, then we know that 6308 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6308 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6308 is only divisible by 1 and 6308, then it is a prime number, and if 6308 is divisible by more than 6308 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6308 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76, 83, 166, 332, 1577, 3154, 6308
Therefore, since 6308 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6308 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
