To determine if 6021 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6021.
If the factors of 6021 are only 6021 and 1, then we know that 6021 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6021 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6021 is only divisible by 1 and 6021, then it is a prime number, and if 6021 is divisible by more than 6021 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6021 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 223, 669, 2007, 6021
Therefore, since 6021 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6021 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
