To determine if 6024 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6024.
If the factors of 6024 are only 6024 and 1, then we know that 6024 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6024 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6024 is only divisible by 1 and 6024, then it is a prime number, and if 6024 is divisible by more than 6024 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6024 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 251, 502, 753, 1004, 1506, 2008, 3012, 6024
Therefore, since 6024 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6024 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6025 prime or composite?
