To determine if 6162 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6162.
If the factors of 6162 are only 6162 and 1, then we know that 6162 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6162 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6162 is only divisible by 1 and 6162, then it is a prime number, and if 6162 is divisible by more than 6162 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6162 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 78, 79, 158, 237, 474, 1027, 2054, 3081, 6162
Therefore, since 6162 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6162 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
