To determine if 5207 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5207.
If the factors of 5207 are only 5207 and 1, then we know that 5207 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5207 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5207 is only divisible by 1 and 5207, then it is a prime number, and if 5207 is divisible by more than 5207 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5207 are as follows:
1, 41, 127, 5207
Therefore, since 5207 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5207 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
