To determine if 5150 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5150.
If the factors of 5150 are only 5150 and 1, then we know that 5150 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5150 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5150 is only divisible by 1 and 5150, then it is a prime number, and if 5150 is divisible by more than 5150 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5150 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 103, 206, 515, 1030, 2575, 5150
Therefore, since 5150 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5150 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5151 prime or composite?
