To determine if 6016 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6016.
If the factors of 6016 are only 6016 and 1, then we know that 6016 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6016 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6016 is only divisible by 1 and 6016, then it is a prime number, and if 6016 is divisible by more than 6016 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6016 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 47, 64, 94, 128, 188, 376, 752, 1504, 3008, 6016
Therefore, since 6016 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6016 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6017 prime or composite?
