To determine if 6350 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6350.
If the factors of 6350 are only 6350 and 1, then we know that 6350 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6350 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6350 is only divisible by 1 and 6350, then it is a prime number, and if 6350 is divisible by more than 6350 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6350 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 127, 254, 635, 1270, 3175, 6350
Therefore, since 6350 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6350 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6351 prime or composite?
