To determine if 6201 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6201.
If the factors of 6201 are only 6201 and 1, then we know that 6201 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6201 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6201 is only divisible by 1 and 6201, then it is a prime number, and if 6201 is divisible by more than 6201 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6201 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 13, 39, 53, 117, 159, 477, 689, 2067, 6201
Therefore, since 6201 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6201 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6202 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 6201 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
