To determine if 5118 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5118.
If the factors of 5118 are only 5118 and 1, then we know that 5118 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5118 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5118 is only divisible by 1 and 5118, then it is a prime number, and if 5118 is divisible by more than 5118 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5118 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 853, 1706, 2559, 5118
Therefore, since 5118 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5118 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
