To determine if 5015 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5015.
If the factors of 5015 are only 5015 and 1, then we know that 5015 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5015 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5015 is only divisible by 1 and 5015, then it is a prime number, and if 5015 is divisible by more than 5015 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5015 are as follows:
1, 5, 17, 59, 85, 295, 1003, 5015
Therefore, since 5015 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5015 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5016 prime or composite?
