To determine if 6004 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6004.
If the factors of 6004 are only 6004 and 1, then we know that 6004 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6004 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6004 is only divisible by 1 and 6004, then it is a prime number, and if 6004 is divisible by more than 6004 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6004 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76, 79, 158, 316, 1501, 3002, 6004
Therefore, since 6004 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6004 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6005 prime or composite?
