Answer:

The code is 571113

Explanation:

The problem requires that we find the prime factors of 5005

1. 5005 is a multiple of 5 since it ends with a number 5

5 is one of the numbers

Dividing 5005/5 = 1001

the next prime number after 5 is 7

so 1001/7= 143

7 is one of the numbers

the next prime number after 7 is 11

so 143/11= 13

13 is one of the numbers

In all the prime factorization of 5005 is found as follows

5,7 11,13

Combining these numbers gives the 6 digit code

571113
