To determine if 5064 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5064.
If the factors of 5064 are only 5064 and 1, then we know that 5064 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5064 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5064 is only divisible by 1 and 5064, then it is a prime number, and if 5064 is divisible by more than 5064 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5064 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 211, 422, 633, 844, 1266, 1688, 2532, 5064
Therefore, since 5064 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5064 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5065 prime or composite?
