To determine if 5210 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5210.
If the factors of 5210 are only 5210 and 1, then we know that 5210 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5210 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5210 is only divisible by 1 and 5210, then it is a prime number, and if 5210 is divisible by more than 5210 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5210 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 521, 1042, 2605, 5210
Therefore, since 5210 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5210 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
