To determine if 6085 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6085.
If the factors of 6085 are only 6085 and 1, then we know that 6085 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6085 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6085 is only divisible by 1 and 6085, then it is a prime number, and if 6085 is divisible by more than 6085 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6085 are as follows:
