To determine if 6111 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6111.
If the factors of 6111 are only 6111 and 1, then we know that 6111 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6111 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6111 is only divisible by 1 and 6111, then it is a prime number, and if 6111 is divisible by more than 6111 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6111 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63, 97, 291, 679, 873, 2037, 6111
Therefore, since 6111 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6111 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
