To determine if 5008 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5008.
If the factors of 5008 are only 5008 and 1, then we know that 5008 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5008 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5008 is only divisible by 1 and 5008, then it is a prime number, and if 5008 is divisible by more than 5008 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5008 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 313, 626, 1252, 2504, 5008
Therefore, since 5008 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5008 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5009 prime or composite?
