To determine if 5076 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5076.
If the factors of 5076 are only 5076 and 1, then we know that 5076 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5076 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5076 is only divisible by 1 and 5076, then it is a prime number, and if 5076 is divisible by more than 5076 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5076 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 47, 54, 94, 108, 141, 188, 282, 423, 564, 846, 1269, 1692, 2538, 5076
Therefore, since 5076 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5076 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5077 prime or composite?
