To determine if 5218 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5218.
If the factors of 5218 are only 5218 and 1, then we know that 5218 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5218 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5218 is only divisible by 1 and 5218, then it is a prime number, and if 5218 is divisible by more than 5218 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5218 are as follows:
