To determine if 5225 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5225.
If the factors of 5225 are only 5225 and 1, then we know that 5225 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5225 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5225 is only divisible by 1 and 5225, then it is a prime number, and if 5225 is divisible by more than 5225 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5225 are as follows:
1, 5, 11, 19, 25, 55, 95, 209, 275, 475, 1045, 5225
Therefore, since 5225 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5225 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
