To determine if 5060 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5060.
If the factors of 5060 are only 5060 and 1, then we know that 5060 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5060 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5060 is only divisible by 1 and 5060, then it is a prime number, and if 5060 is divisible by more than 5060 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5060 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 23, 44, 46, 55, 92, 110, 115, 220, 230, 253, 460, 506, 1012, 1265, 2530, 5060
Therefore, since 5060 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5060 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5061 prime or composite?
