To determine if 5154 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5154.
If the factors of 5154 are only 5154 and 1, then we know that 5154 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5154 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5154 is only divisible by 1 and 5154, then it is a prime number, and if 5154 is divisible by more than 5154 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5154 are as follows:
