To determine if 6360 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6360.
If the factors of 6360 are only 6360 and 1, then we know that 6360 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6360 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6360 is only divisible by 1 and 6360, then it is a prime number, and if 6360 is divisible by more than 6360 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6360 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 53, 60, 106, 120, 159, 212, 265, 318, 424, 530, 636, 795, 1060, 1272, 1590, 2120, 3180, 6360
Therefore, since 6360 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6360 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
