To determine if 5066 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5066.
If the factors of 5066 are only 5066 and 1, then we know that 5066 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5066 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5066 is only divisible by 1 and 5066, then it is a prime number, and if 5066 is divisible by more than 5066 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5066 are as follows:
1, 2, 17, 34, 149, 298, 2533, 5066
Therefore, since 5066 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5066 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
