To determine if 6090 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6090.
If the factors of 6090 are only 6090 and 1, then we know that 6090 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6090 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6090 is only divisible by 1 and 6090, then it is a prime number, and if 6090 is divisible by more than 6090 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6090 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 21, 29, 30, 35, 42, 58, 70, 87, 105, 145, 174, 203, 210, 290, 406, 435, 609, 870, 1015, 1218, 2030, 3045, 6090
Therefore, since 6090 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6090 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
