To determine if 6006 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6006.
If the factors of 6006 are only 6006 and 1, then we know that 6006 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6006 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6006 is only divisible by 1 and 6006, then it is a prime number, and if 6006 is divisible by more than 6006 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6006 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 21, 22, 26, 33, 39, 42, 66, 77, 78, 91, 143, 154, 182, 231, 273, 286, 429, 462, 546, 858, 1001, 2002, 3003, 6006
Therefore, since 6006 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6006 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6007 prime or composite?
