To determine if 5214 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5214.
If the factors of 5214 are only 5214 and 1, then we know that 5214 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5214 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5214 is only divisible by 1 and 5214, then it is a prime number, and if 5214 is divisible by more than 5214 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5214 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 79, 158, 237, 474, 869, 1738, 2607, 5214
Therefore, since 5214 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5214 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5215 prime or composite?
