To determine if 5013 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5013.
If the factors of 5013 are only 5013 and 1, then we know that 5013 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5013 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5013 is only divisible by 1 and 5013, then it is a prime number, and if 5013 is divisible by more than 5013 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5013 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 557, 1671, 5013
Therefore, since 5013 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5013 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5014 prime or composite?
