To determine if 6156 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6156.
If the factors of 6156 are only 6156 and 1, then we know that 6156 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6156 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6156 is only divisible by 1 and 6156, then it is a prime number, and if 6156 is divisible by more than 6156 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6156 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 27, 36, 38, 54, 57, 76, 81, 108, 114, 162, 171, 228, 324, 342, 513, 684, 1026, 1539, 2052, 3078, 6156
Therefore, since 6156 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6156 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
