To determine if 5164 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5164.
If the factors of 5164 are only 5164 and 1, then we know that 5164 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5164 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5164 is only divisible by 1 and 5164, then it is a prime number, and if 5164 is divisible by more than 5164 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5164 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1291, 2582, 5164
Therefore, since 5164 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5164 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
