To determine if 5084 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5084.
If the factors of 5084 are only 5084 and 1, then we know that 5084 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5084 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5084 is only divisible by 1 and 5084, then it is a prime number, and if 5084 is divisible by more than 5084 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5084 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 31, 41, 62, 82, 124, 164, 1271, 2542, 5084
Therefore, since 5084 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5084 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
