To determine if 5082 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5082.
If the factors of 5082 are only 5082 and 1, then we know that 5082 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5082 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5082 is only divisible by 1 and 5082, then it is a prime number, and if 5082 is divisible by more than 5082 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5082 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 21, 22, 33, 42, 66, 77, 121, 154, 231, 242, 363, 462, 726, 847, 1694, 2541, 5082
Therefore, since 5082 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5082 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
