To determine if 6005 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6005.
If the factors of 6005 are only 6005 and 1, then we know that 6005 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6005 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6005 is only divisible by 1 and 6005, then it is a prime number, and if 6005 is divisible by more than 6005 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6005 are as follows:
1, 5, 1201, 6005
Therefore, since 6005 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6005 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6006 prime or composite?
