To determine if 6038 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6038.
If the factors of 6038 are only 6038 and 1, then we know that 6038 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6038 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6038 is only divisible by 1 and 6038, then it is a prime number, and if 6038 is divisible by more than 6038 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6038 are as follows:
