To determine if 5206 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5206.
If the factors of 5206 are only 5206 and 1, then we know that 5206 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5206 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5206 is only divisible by 1 and 5206, then it is a prime number, and if 5206 is divisible by more than 5206 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5206 are as follows:
1, 2, 19, 38, 137, 274, 2603, 5206
Therefore, since 5206 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5206 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
