To determine if 6175 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6175.
If the factors of 6175 are only 6175 and 1, then we know that 6175 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6175 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6175 is only divisible by 1 and 6175, then it is a prime number, and if 6175 is divisible by more than 6175 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6175 are as follows:
1, 5, 13, 19, 25, 65, 95, 247, 325, 475, 1235, 6175
Therefore, since 6175 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6175 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
