To determine if 5205 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5205.
If the factors of 5205 are only 5205 and 1, then we know that 5205 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5205 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5205 is only divisible by 1 and 5205, then it is a prime number, and if 5205 is divisible by more than 5205 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5205 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 347, 1041, 1735, 5205
Therefore, since 5205 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5205 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
