To determine if 5190 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5190.
If the factors of 5190 are only 5190 and 1, then we know that 5190 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5190 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5190 is only divisible by 1 and 5190, then it is a prime number, and if 5190 is divisible by more than 5190 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5190 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 173, 346, 519, 865, 1038, 1730, 2595, 5190
Therefore, since 5190 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5190 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5191 prime or composite?
