To determine if 5163 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5163.
If the factors of 5163 are only 5163 and 1, then we know that 5163 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5163 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5163 is only divisible by 1 and 5163, then it is a prime number, and if 5163 is divisible by more than 5163 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5163 are as follows:
1, 3, 1721, 5163
Therefore, since 5163 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5163 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
