To determine if 6344 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6344.
If the factors of 6344 are only 6344 and 1, then we know that 6344 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6344 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6344 is only divisible by 1 and 6344, then it is a prime number, and if 6344 is divisible by more than 6344 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6344 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 52, 61, 104, 122, 244, 488, 793, 1586, 3172, 6344
Therefore, since 6344 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6344 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
