To determine if 6336 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6336.
If the factors of 6336 are only 6336 and 1, then we know that 6336 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6336 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6336 is only divisible by 1 and 6336, then it is a prime number, and if 6336 is divisible by more than 6336 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6336 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 16, 18, 22, 24, 32, 33, 36, 44, 48, 64, 66, 72, 88, 96, 99, 132, 144, 176, 192, 198, 264, 288, 352, 396, 528, 576, 704, 792, 1056, 1584, 2112, 3168, 6336
Therefore, since 6336 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6336 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
