To determine if 6072 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6072.
If the factors of 6072 are only 6072 and 1, then we know that 6072 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6072 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6072 is only divisible by 1 and 6072, then it is a prime number, and if 6072 is divisible by more than 6072 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6072 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 23, 24, 33, 44, 46, 66, 69, 88, 92, 132, 138, 184, 253, 264, 276, 506, 552, 759, 1012, 1518, 2024, 3036, 6072
Therefore, since 6072 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6072 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
