To determine if 611 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 611.
If the factors of 611 are only 611 and 1, then we know that 611 is a prime number. Otherwise, 611 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 611 is only divisible by 1 and 611, then it is a prime number, and if 611 is divisible by more than 611 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 611 are as follows:
1, 13, 47, 611
Therefore, since 611 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 611 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 612 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 611 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.
