To determine if 5062 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5062.
If the factors of 5062 are only 5062 and 1, then we know that 5062 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5062 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5062 is only divisible by 1 and 5062, then it is a prime number, and if 5062 is divisible by more than 5062 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5062 are as follows:
1, 2, 2531, 5062
Therefore, since 5062 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5062 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5063 prime or composite?
