To determine if 5073 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5073.
If the factors of 5073 are only 5073 and 1, then we know that 5073 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5073 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5073 is only divisible by 1 and 5073, then it is a prime number, and if 5073 is divisible by more than 5073 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5073 are as follows:
1, 3, 19, 57, 89, 267, 1691, 5073
Therefore, since 5073 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5073 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
