To determine if 5116 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5116.
If the factors of 5116 are only 5116 and 1, then we know that 5116 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5116 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5116 is only divisible by 1 and 5116, then it is a prime number, and if 5116 is divisible by more than 5116 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5116 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1279, 2558, 5116
Therefore, since 5116 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5116 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5117 prime or composite?
