To determine if 6030 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6030.
If the factors of 6030 are only 6030 and 1, then we know that 6030 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6030 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6030 is only divisible by 1 and 6030, then it is a prime number, and if 6030 is divisible by more than 6030 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6030 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 67, 90, 134, 201, 335, 402, 603, 670, 1005, 1206, 2010, 3015, 6030
Therefore, since 6030 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6030 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6031 prime or composite?
