A prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors; in other words, it has at least one factor besides 1 and itself. The only factors of 61 are 1 and 61, so it is a prime number instead of a composite number.

1 is the only natural number which is neither prime nor composite. So, 61 is either prime or composite. 61 is not divisible any number except 1 and itself so it is a prime number.
