To determine if 5162 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5162.
If the factors of 5162 are only 5162 and 1, then we know that 5162 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5162 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5162 is only divisible by 1 and 5162, then it is a prime number, and if 5162 is divisible by more than 5162 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5162 are as follows:
1, 2, 29, 58, 89, 178, 2581, 5162
Therefore, since 5162 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5162 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
