To determine if 5010 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5010.
If the factors of 5010 are only 5010 and 1, then we know that 5010 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5010 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5010 is only divisible by 1 and 5010, then it is a prime number, and if 5010 is divisible by more than 5010 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5010 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 167, 334, 501, 835, 1002, 1670, 2505, 5010
Therefore, since 5010 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5010 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5011 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 5010 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
