To determine if 5228 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5228.
If the factors of 5228 are only 5228 and 1, then we know that 5228 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5228 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5228 is only divisible by 1 and 5228, then it is a prime number, and if 5228 is divisible by more than 5228 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5228 are as follows:
