To determine if 5052 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5052.
If the factors of 5052 are only 5052 and 1, then we know that 5052 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5052 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5052 is only divisible by 1 and 5052, then it is a prime number, and if 5052 is divisible by more than 5052 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5052 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 421, 842, 1263, 1684, 2526, 5052
Therefore, since 5052 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5052 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5053 prime or composite?
