To determine if 610 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 610.
If the factors of 610 are only 610 and 1, then we know that 610 is a prime number. Otherwise, 610 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 610 is only divisible by 1 and 610, then it is a prime number, and if 610 is divisible by more than 610 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 610 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 61, 122, 305, 610
Therefore, since 610 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 610 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 611 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 610 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
