To determine if 5224 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5224.
If the factors of 5224 are only 5224 and 1, then we know that 5224 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5224 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5224 is only divisible by 1 and 5224, then it is a prime number, and if 5224 is divisible by more than 5224 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5224 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 653, 1306, 2612, 5224
