To determine if 5049 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5049.
If the factors of 5049 are only 5049 and 1, then we know that 5049 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5049 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5049 is only divisible by 1 and 5049, then it is a prime number, and if 5049 is divisible by more than 5049 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5049 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 11, 17, 27, 33, 51, 99, 153, 187, 297, 459, 561, 1683, 5049
Therefore, since 5049 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5049 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
