To determine if 6137 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6137.
If the factors of 6137 are only 6137 and 1, then we know that 6137 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6137 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6137 is only divisible by 1 and 6137, then it is a prime number, and if 6137 is divisible by more than 6137 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6137 are as follows:
