To determine if 6118 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6118.
If the factors of 6118 are only 6118 and 1, then we know that 6118 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6118 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6118 is only divisible by 1 and 6118, then it is a prime number, and if 6118 is divisible by more than 6118 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6118 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 19, 23, 38, 46, 133, 161, 266, 322, 437, 874, 3059, 6118
Therefore, since 6118 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6118 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
