To determine if 6141 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6141.
If the factors of 6141 are only 6141 and 1, then we know that 6141 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6141 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6141 is only divisible by 1 and 6141, then it is a prime number, and if 6141 is divisible by more than 6141 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6141 are as follows:
1, 3, 23, 69, 89, 267, 2047, 6141
Therefore, since 6141 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6141 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
