To determine if 5102 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5102.
If the factors of 5102 are only 5102 and 1, then we know that 5102 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5102 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5102 is only divisible by 1 and 5102, then it is a prime number, and if 5102 is divisible by more than 5102 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5102 are as follows:
1, 2, 2551, 5102
Therefore, since 5102 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5102 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5103 prime or composite?
