To determine if 5055 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5055.
If the factors of 5055 are only 5055 and 1, then we know that 5055 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5055 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5055 is only divisible by 1 and 5055, then it is a prime number, and if 5055 is divisible by more than 5055 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5055 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 337, 1011, 1685, 5055
Therefore, since 5055 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5055 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
