To determine if 5054 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5054.
If the factors of 5054 are only 5054 and 1, then we know that 5054 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5054 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5054 is only divisible by 1 and 5054, then it is a prime number, and if 5054 is divisible by more than 5054 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5054 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 19, 38, 133, 266, 361, 722, 2527, 5054
Therefore, since 5054 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5054 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
