To determine if 5048 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5048.
If the factors of 5048 are only 5048 and 1, then we know that 5048 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5048 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5048 is only divisible by 1 and 5048, then it is a prime number, and if 5048 is divisible by more than 5048 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5048 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 631, 1262, 2524, 5048
