To determine if 5078 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5078.
If the factors of 5078 are only 5078 and 1, then we know that 5078 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5078 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5078 is only divisible by 1 and 5078, then it is a prime number, and if 5078 is divisible by more than 5078 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5078 are as follows:
1, 2, 2539, 5078
Therefore, since 5078 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5078 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
