To determine if 6012 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6012.
If the factors of 6012 are only 6012 and 1, then we know that 6012 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6012 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6012 is only divisible by 1 and 6012, then it is a prime number, and if 6012 is divisible by more than 6012 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6012 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 167, 334, 501, 668, 1002, 1503, 2004, 3006, 6012
Therefore, since 6012 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6012 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6013 prime or composite?
