To determine if 5183 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5183.
If the factors of 5183 are only 5183 and 1, then we know that 5183 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5183 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5183 is only divisible by 1 and 5183, then it is a prime number, and if 5183 is divisible by more than 5183 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5183 are as follows:
