To determine if 6122 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6122.
If the factors of 6122 are only 6122 and 1, then we know that 6122 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6122 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6122 is only divisible by 1 and 6122, then it is a prime number, and if 6122 is divisible by more than 6122 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6122 are as follows:
