To determine if 6132 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6132.
If the factors of 6132 are only 6132 and 1, then we know that 6132 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6132 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6132 is only divisible by 1 and 6132, then it is a prime number, and if 6132 is divisible by more than 6132 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6132 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 73, 84, 146, 219, 292, 438, 511, 876, 1022, 1533, 2044, 3066, 6132
Therefore, since 6132 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6132 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
