To determine if 5045 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5045.
If the factors of 5045 are only 5045 and 1, then we know that 5045 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5045 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5045 is only divisible by 1 and 5045, then it is a prime number, and if 5045 is divisible by more than 5045 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5045 are as follows:
1, 5, 1009, 5045
Therefore, since 5045 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5045 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
