To determine if 6120 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6120.
If the factors of 6120 are only 6120 and 1, then we know that 6120 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6120 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6120 is only divisible by 1 and 6120, then it is a prime number, and if 6120 is divisible by more than 6120 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6120 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 17, 18, 20, 24, 30, 34, 36, 40, 45, 51, 60, 68, 72, 85, 90, 102, 120, 136, 153, 170, 180, 204, 255, 306, 340, 360, 408, 510, 612, 680, 765, 1020, 1224, 1530, 2040, 3060, 6120
Therefore, since 6120 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6120 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6121 prime or composite?
