To determine if 5229 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5229.
If the factors of 5229 are only 5229 and 1, then we know that 5229 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5229 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5229 is only divisible by 1 and 5229, then it is a prime number, and if 5229 is divisible by more than 5229 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5229 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63, 83, 249, 581, 747, 1743, 5229
