To determine if 6370 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6370.
If the factors of 6370 are only 6370 and 1, then we know that 6370 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6370 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6370 is only divisible by 1 and 6370, then it is a prime number, and if 6370 is divisible by more than 6370 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6370 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 13, 14, 26, 35, 49, 65, 70, 91, 98, 130, 182, 245, 455, 490, 637, 910, 1274, 3185, 6370
Therefore, since 6370 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6370 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
