To determine if 6161 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6161.
If the factors of 6161 are only 6161 and 1, then we know that 6161 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6161 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6161 is only divisible by 1 and 6161, then it is a prime number, and if 6161 is divisible by more than 6161 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6161 are as follows:
1, 61, 101, 6161
Therefore, since 6161 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6161 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
