To determine if 6355 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6355.
If the factors of 6355 are only 6355 and 1, then we know that 6355 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6355 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6355 is only divisible by 1 and 6355, then it is a prime number, and if 6355 is divisible by more than 6355 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6355 are as follows:
