To determine if 6116 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6116.
If the factors of 6116 are only 6116 and 1, then we know that 6116 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6116 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6116 is only divisible by 1 and 6116, then it is a prime number, and if 6116 is divisible by more than 6116 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6116 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 139, 278, 556, 1529, 3058, 6116
Therefore, since 6116 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6116 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
