To determine if 5063 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5063.
If the factors of 5063 are only 5063 and 1, then we know that 5063 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5063 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5063 is only divisible by 1 and 5063, then it is a prime number, and if 5063 is divisible by more than 5063 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5063 are as follows:
1, 61, 83, 5063
Therefore, since 5063 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5063 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5064 prime or composite?
