To determine if 5232 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5232.
If the factors of 5232 are only 5232 and 1, then we know that 5232 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5232 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5232 is only divisible by 1 and 5232, then it is a prime number, and if 5232 is divisible by more than 5232 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5232 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 109, 218, 327, 436, 654, 872, 1308, 1744, 2616, 5232
Therefore, since 5232 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5232 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5233 prime or composite?
