Factors of 610:
- If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 610, we found that 610 has factors 1, 2, 5, 10, 61, 122, 305 and 610. Hence, we must say that 610 is a composite number.
- Thus, 610 is the composite umber.
- If we multiply 610 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 610 which are 610, 1220 and so on.
About the number 610:
- 610 has more than two factors which are 1, 2, 5, 10, 61, 122, 305 and 610 and hence it is the composite number.
- 610 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
- If we divide 610 by 1, 2, 5, 10, 61, 122, 305 and 610 then we get remainder as zero. Hence,1, 2, 5, 10, 61, 122, 305 and 610 are the factors of 610.
Note:
- 610 is not the perfect square.
- Factors of 610: 1, 2, 5, 10, 61, 122, 305 and 610
- Prime factors of 610: 2, 5, 61
Conclusion:
- 610 is the composite number which has factors 1, 2, 5, 10, 61, 122, 305 and 610
- And hence, 610 is not the prime number.
