To determine if 6002 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6002.
If the factors of 6002 are only 6002 and 1, then we know that 6002 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6002 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6002 is only divisible by 1 and 6002, then it is a prime number, and if 6002 is divisible by more than 6002 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6002 are as follows:
1, 2, 3001, 6002
Therefore, since 6002 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6002 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6003 prime or composite?
