To determine if 5034 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5034.
If the factors of 5034 are only 5034 and 1, then we know that 5034 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5034 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5034 is only divisible by 1 and 5034, then it is a prime number, and if 5034 is divisible by more than 5034 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5034 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 839, 1678, 2517, 5034
Therefore, since 5034 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5034 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
