To determine if 5057 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5057.
If the factors of 5057 are only 5057 and 1, then we know that 5057 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5057 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5057 is only divisible by 1 and 5057, then it is a prime number, and if 5057 is divisible by more than 5057 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5057 are as follows:
