To determine if 5212 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5212.
If the factors of 5212 are only 5212 and 1, then we know that 5212 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5212 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5212 is only divisible by 1 and 5212, then it is a prime number, and if 5212 is divisible by more than 5212 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5212 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1303, 2606, 5212
Therefore, since 5212 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5212 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
