To determine if 5109 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5109.
If the factors of 5109 are only 5109 and 1, then we know that 5109 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5109 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5109 is only divisible by 1 and 5109, then it is a prime number, and if 5109 is divisible by more than 5109 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5109 are as follows:
1, 3, 13, 39, 131, 393, 1703, 5109
Therefore, since 5109 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
