To determine if 5135 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5135.
If the factors of 5135 are only 5135 and 1, then we know that 5135 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5135 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5135 is only divisible by 1 and 5135, then it is a prime number, and if 5135 is divisible by more than 5135 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5135 are as follows:
1, 5, 13, 65, 79, 395, 1027, 5135
Therefore, since 5135 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5135 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
