To determine if 6358 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6358.
If the factors of 6358 are only 6358 and 1, then we know that 6358 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6358 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6358 is only divisible by 1 and 6358, then it is a prime number, and if 6358 is divisible by more than 6358 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6358 are as follows:
