To determine if 5092 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5092.
If the factors of 5092 are only 5092 and 1, then we know that 5092 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5092 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5092 is only divisible by 1 and 5092, then it is a prime number, and if 5092 is divisible by more than 5092 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5092 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 67, 76, 134, 268, 1273, 2546, 5092
Therefore, since 5092 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5092 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5093 prime or composite?
