To determine if 6042 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6042.
If the factors of 6042 are only 6042 and 1, then we know that 6042 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6042 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6042 is only divisible by 1 and 6042, then it is a prime number, and if 6042 is divisible by more than 6042 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6042 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 19, 38, 53, 57, 106, 114, 159, 318, 1007, 2014, 3021, 6042
Therefore, since 6042 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6042 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
