To determine if 5222 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5222.
If the factors of 5222 are only 5222 and 1, then we know that 5222 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5222 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5222 is only divisible by 1 and 5222, then it is a prime number, and if 5222 is divisible by more than 5222 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5222 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 373, 746, 2611, 5222
Therefore, since 5222 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5222 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
