To determine if 6128 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6128.
If the factors of 6128 are only 6128 and 1, then we know that 6128 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6128 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6128 is only divisible by 1 and 6128, then it is a prime number, and if 6128 is divisible by more than 6128 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6128 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 383, 766, 1532, 3064, 6128
