To determine if 5091 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5091.
If the factors of 5091 are only 5091 and 1, then we know that 5091 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5091 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5091 is only divisible by 1 and 5091, then it is a prime number, and if 5091 is divisible by more than 5091 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5091 are as follows:
1, 3, 1697, 5091
Therefore, since 5091 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5091 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5092 prime or composite?
