To determine if 6088 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6088.
If the factors of 6088 are only 6088 and 1, then we know that 6088 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6088 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6088 is only divisible by 1 and 6088, then it is a prime number, and if 6088 is divisible by more than 6088 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6088 are as follows:
