To determine if 6015 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6015.
If the factors of 6015 are only 6015 and 1, then we know that 6015 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6015 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6015 is only divisible by 1 and 6015, then it is a prime number, and if 6015 is divisible by more than 6015 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6015 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 401, 1203, 2005, 6015
Therefore, since 6015 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6015 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
