To determine if 5014 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5014.
If the factors of 5014 are only 5014 and 1, then we know that 5014 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5014 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5014 is only divisible by 1 and 5014, then it is a prime number, and if 5014 is divisible by more than 5014 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5014 are as follows:
1, 2, 23, 46, 109, 218, 2507, 5014
Therefore, since 5014 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5014 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
