OpenStudy (cwrw238):

you can quickly eliminate some of these by adding the digits to see if they are divisible by 3 the result is 3 6 or 9 if divisible by 3 eg 6093 = 6+9+3 = 18 = 9 so its divisible by 3 so not a prime

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

6693, 6993 and 6693 also divisible by 3

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

* 6393 also

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

neither of them are divisible by 5 because they do not end in 5 or 0 try dividing the others by higher primes like 7 and 11

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

6193 is divisible by 11 so is not prime
