To determine if 6041 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6041.
If the factors of 6041 are only 6041 and 1, then we know that 6041 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6041 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6041 is only divisible by 1 and 6041, then it is a prime number, and if 6041 is divisible by more than 6041 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6041 are as follows:
1, 7, 863, 6041
Therefore, since 6041 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6041 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 6042 prime or composite?
