To determine if 5080 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5080.
If the factors of 5080 are only 5080 and 1, then we know that 5080 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5080 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5080 is only divisible by 1 and 5080, then it is a prime number, and if 5080 is divisible by more than 5080 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5080 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40, 127, 254, 508, 635, 1016, 1270, 2540, 5080
Therefore, since 5080 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5080 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5081 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 5080 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
