To determine if 6351 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6351.
If the factors of 6351 are only 6351 and 1, then we know that 6351 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6351 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6351 is only divisible by 1 and 6351, then it is a prime number, and if 6351 is divisible by more than 6351 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6351 are as follows:
1, 3, 29, 73, 87, 219, 2117, 6351
Therefore, since 6351 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6351 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
