To determine if 5090 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5090.
If the factors of 5090 are only 5090 and 1, then we know that 5090 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5090 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5090 is only divisible by 1 and 5090, then it is a prime number, and if 5090 is divisible by more than 5090 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5090 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 509, 1018, 2545, 5090
Therefore, since 5090 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5090 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
