To determine if 5024 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5024.
If the factors of 5024 are only 5024 and 1, then we know that 5024 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5024 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5024 is only divisible by 1 and 5024, then it is a prime number, and if 5024 is divisible by more than 5024 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5024 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 157, 314, 628, 1256, 2512, 5024
Therefore, since 5024 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5024 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5025 prime or composite?
