To determine if 6341 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6341.
If the factors of 6341 are only 6341 and 1, then we know that 6341 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6341 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6341 is only divisible by 1 and 6341, then it is a prime number, and if 6341 is divisible by more than 6341 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6341 are as follows:
