To determine if 6023 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6023.
If the factors of 6023 are only 6023 and 1, then we know that 6023 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6023 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6023 is only divisible by 1 and 6023, then it is a prime number, and if 6023 is divisible by more than 6023 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6023 are as follows:
1, 19, 317, 6023
Therefore, since 6023 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6023 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
