To determine if 5027 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5027.
If the factors of 5027 are only 5027 and 1, then we know that 5027 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5027 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5027 is only divisible by 1 and 5027, then it is a prime number, and if 5027 is divisible by more than 5027 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5027 are as follows:
1, 11, 457, 5027
Therefore, since 5027 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5027 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5028 prime or composite?
