To determine if 5030 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5030.
If the factors of 5030 are only 5030 and 1, then we know that 5030 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5030 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5030 is only divisible by 1 and 5030, then it is a prime number, and if 5030 is divisible by more than 5030 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5030 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 503, 1006, 2515, 5030
Therefore, since 5030 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5030 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
