To determine if 5226 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5226.
If the factors of 5226 are only 5226 and 1, then we know that 5226 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5226 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5226 is only divisible by 1 and 5226, then it is a prime number, and if 5226 is divisible by more than 5226 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5226 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 67, 78, 134, 201, 402, 871, 1742, 2613, 5226
Therefore, since 5226 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5226 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5227 prime or composite?
