To determine if 5021 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5021.
If the factors of 5021 are only 5021 and 1, then we know that 5021 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5021 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5021 is only divisible by 1 and 5021, then it is a prime number, and if 5021 is divisible by more than 5021 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5021 are as follows:
1, 5021
Therefore, since 5021 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5021 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
