To determine if 5101 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5101.
If the factors of 5101 are only 5101 and 1, then we know that 5101 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5101 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5101 is only divisible by 1 and 5101, then it is a prime number, and if 5101 is divisible by more than 5101 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5101 are as follows:
1, 5101
Therefore, since 5101 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5101 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
Is 5102 prime or composite?
