To determine if 6040 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6040.
If the factors of 6040 are only 6040 and 1, then we know that 6040 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6040 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6040 is only divisible by 1 and 6040, then it is a prime number, and if 6040 is divisible by more than 6040 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6040 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40, 151, 302, 604, 755, 1208, 1510, 3020, 6040
Therefore, since 6040 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6040 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6041 prime or composite?
