To determine if 5047 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5047.
If the factors of 5047 are only 5047 and 1, then we know that 5047 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5047 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5047 is only divisible by 1 and 5047, then it is a prime number, and if 5047 is divisible by more than 5047 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5047 are as follows:
