To determine if 6315 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6315.
If the factors of 6315 are only 6315 and 1, then we know that 6315 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6315 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6315 is only divisible by 1 and 6315, then it is a prime number, and if 6315 is divisible by more than 6315 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6315 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 421, 1263, 2105, 6315
Therefore, since 6315 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6315 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
