To determine if 6164 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6164.
If the factors of 6164 are only 6164 and 1, then we know that 6164 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6164 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6164 is only divisible by 1 and 6164, then it is a prime number, and if 6164 is divisible by more than 6164 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6164 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 23, 46, 67, 92, 134, 268, 1541, 3082, 6164
Therefore, since 6164 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6164 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
