To determine if 6020 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6020.
If the factors of 6020 are only 6020 and 1, then we know that 6020 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6020 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6020 is only divisible by 1 and 6020, then it is a prime number, and if 6020 is divisible by more than 6020 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6020 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 43, 70, 86, 140, 172, 215, 301, 430, 602, 860, 1204, 1505, 3010, 6020
Therefore, since 6020 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6020 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6021 prime or composite?
