To determine if 6009 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6009.
If the factors of 6009 are only 6009 and 1, then we know that 6009 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6009 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6009 is only divisible by 1 and 6009, then it is a prime number, and if 6009 is divisible by more than 6009 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6009 are as follows:
1, 3, 2003, 6009
Therefore, since 6009 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6009 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
