To determine if 5051 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5051.
If the factors of 5051 are only 5051 and 1, then we know that 5051 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5051 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5051 is only divisible by 1 and 5051, then it is a prime number, and if 5051 is divisible by more than 5051 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5051 are as follows:
