To determine if 5244 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5244.
If the factors of 5244 are only 5244 and 1, then we know that 5244 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5244 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5244 is only divisible by 1 and 5244, then it is a prime number, and if 5244 is divisible by more than 5244 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5244 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 19, 23, 38, 46, 57, 69, 76, 92, 114, 138, 228, 276, 437, 874, 1311, 1748, 2622, 5244
Therefore, since 5244 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5244 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
