To determine if 6320 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6320.
If the factors of 6320 are only 6320 and 1, then we know that 6320 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6320 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6320 is only divisible by 1 and 6320, then it is a prime number, and if 6320 is divisible by more than 6320 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6320 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 79, 80, 158, 316, 395, 632, 790, 1264, 1580, 3160, 6320
Therefore, since 6320 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6320 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6321 prime or composite?
