To determine if 6316 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6316.
If the factors of 6316 are only 6316 and 1, then we know that 6316 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6316 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6316 is only divisible by 1 and 6316, then it is a prime number, and if 6316 is divisible by more than 6316 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6316 are as follows:
