To determine if 5061 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5061.
If the factors of 5061 are only 5061 and 1, then we know that 5061 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5061 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5061 is only divisible by 1 and 5061, then it is a prime number, and if 5061 is divisible by more than 5061 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5061 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 21, 241, 723, 1687, 5061
Therefore, since 5061 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5061 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5062 prime or composite?
