To determine if 6048 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6048.
If the factors of 6048 are only 6048 and 1, then we know that 6048 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6048 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6048 is only divisible by 1 and 6048, then it is a prime number, and if 6048 is divisible by more than 6048 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6048 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, 27, 28, 32, 36, 42, 48, 54, 56, 63, 72, 84, 96, 108, 112, 126, 144, 168, 189, 216, 224, 252, 288, 336, 378, 432, 504, 672, 756, 864, 1008, 1512, 2016, 3024, 6048
Therefore, since 6048 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6048 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
