To determine if 6026 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6026.
If the factors of 6026 are only 6026 and 1, then we know that 6026 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6026 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6026 is only divisible by 1 and 6026, then it is a prime number, and if 6026 is divisible by more than 6026 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6026 are as follows:
1, 2, 23, 46, 131, 262, 3013, 6026
Therefore, since 6026 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6026 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
