To determine if 5007 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5007.
If the factors of 5007 are only 5007 and 1, then we know that 5007 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5007 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5007 is only divisible by 1 and 5007, then it is a prime number, and if 5007 is divisible by more than 5007 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5007 are as follows:
1, 3, 1669, 5007
Therefore, since 5007 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5007 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5008 prime or composite?
