To determine if 6017 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6017.
If the factors of 6017 are only 6017 and 1, then we know that 6017 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6017 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6017 is only divisible by 1 and 6017, then it is a prime number, and if 6017 is divisible by more than 6017 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6017 are as follows:
1, 11, 547, 6017
Therefore, since 6017 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6017 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6018 prime or composite?
