To determine if 5044 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5044.
If the factors of 5044 are only 5044 and 1, then we know that 5044 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5044 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5044 is only divisible by 1 and 5044, then it is a prime number, and if 5044 is divisible by more than 5044 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5044 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 97, 194, 388, 1261, 2522, 5044
Therefore, since 5044 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5044 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
