To determine if 5068 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5068.
If the factors of 5068 are only 5068 and 1, then we know that 5068 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5068 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5068 is only divisible by 1 and 5068, then it is a prime number, and if 5068 is divisible by more than 5068 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5068 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 181, 362, 724, 1267, 2534, 5068
Therefore, since 5068 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5068 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5069 prime or composite?
