To determine if 6310 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6310.
If the factors of 6310 are only 6310 and 1, then we know that 6310 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6310 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6310 is only divisible by 1 and 6310, then it is a prime number, and if 6310 is divisible by more than 6310 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6310 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 631, 1262, 3155, 6310
Therefore, since 6310 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6310 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
