To determine if 5079 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5079.
If the factors of 5079 are only 5079 and 1, then we know that 5079 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5079 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5079 is only divisible by 1 and 5079, then it is a prime number, and if 5079 is divisible by more than 5079 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5079 are as follows:
