To determine if 606 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 606.
If the factors of 606 are only 606 and 1, then we know that 606 is a prime number. Otherwise, 606 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 606 is only divisible by 1 and 606, then it is a prime number, and if 606 is divisible by more than 606 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 606 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 101, 202, 303, 606
Therefore, since 606 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 606 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 607 prime or composite?
