To determine if 5134 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5134.
If the factors of 5134 are only 5134 and 1, then we know that 5134 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5134 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5134 is only divisible by 1 and 5134, then it is a prime number, and if 5134 is divisible by more than 5134 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5134 are as follows:
1, 2, 17, 34, 151, 302, 2567, 5134
Therefore, since 5134 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5134 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
