To determine if 6031 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6031.
If the factors of 6031 are only 6031 and 1, then we know that 6031 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6031 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6031 is only divisible by 1 and 6031, then it is a prime number, and if 6031 is divisible by more than 6031 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6031 are as follows:
1, 37, 163, 6031
Therefore, since 6031 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6031 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6032 prime or composite?
