To determine if 5022 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5022.
If the factors of 5022 are only 5022 and 1, then we know that 5022 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5022 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5022 is only divisible by 1 and 5022, then it is a prime number, and if 5022 is divisible by more than 5022 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5022 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 31, 54, 62, 81, 93, 162, 186, 279, 558, 837, 1674, 2511, 5022
Therefore, since 5022 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5022 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5023 prime or composite?
