To determine if 6101 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6101.
If the factors of 6101 are only 6101 and 1, then we know that 6101 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6101 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6101 is only divisible by 1 and 6101, then it is a prime number, and if 6101 is divisible by more than 6101 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6101 are as follows:
1, 6101
Therefore, since 6101 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6101 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
