To determine if 5211 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5211.
If the factors of 5211 are only 5211 and 1, then we know that 5211 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5211 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5211 is only divisible by 1 and 5211, then it is a prime number, and if 5211 is divisible by more than 5211 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5211 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 193, 579, 1737, 5211
Therefore, since 5211 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5211 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
