To determine if 6008 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6008.
If the factors of 6008 are only 6008 and 1, then we know that 6008 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6008 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6008 is only divisible by 1 and 6008, then it is a prime number, and if 6008 is divisible by more than 6008 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6008 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 751, 1502, 3004, 6008
Therefore, since 6008 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6008 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
