To determine if 5075 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5075.
If the factors of 5075 are only 5075 and 1, then we know that 5075 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5075 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5075 is only divisible by 1 and 5075, then it is a prime number, and if 5075 is divisible by more than 5075 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5075 are as follows:
1, 5, 7, 25, 29, 35, 145, 175, 203, 725, 1015, 5075
Therefore, since 5075 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5075 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5076 prime or composite?
