To determine if 6135 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6135.
If the factors of 6135 are only 6135 and 1, then we know that 6135 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6135 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6135 is only divisible by 1 and 6135, then it is a prime number, and if 6135 is divisible by more than 6135 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6135 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 409, 1227, 2045, 6135
