To determine if 6003 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6003.
If the factors of 6003 are only 6003 and 1, then we know that 6003 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6003 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6003 is only divisible by 1 and 6003, then it is a prime number, and if 6003 is divisible by more than 6003 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6003 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 23, 29, 69, 87, 207, 261, 667, 2001, 6003
Therefore, since 6003 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6003 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6004 prime or composite?
