To determine if 5235 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5235.
If the factors of 5235 are only 5235 and 1, then we know that 5235 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5235 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5235 is only divisible by 1 and 5235, then it is a prime number, and if 5235 is divisible by more than 5235 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5235 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 349, 1047, 1745, 5235
Therefore, since 5235 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5235 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
