To determine if 5263 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5263.
If the factors of 5263 are only 5263 and 1, then we know that 5263 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5263 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5263 is only divisible by 1 and 5263, then it is a prime number, and if 5263 is divisible by more than 5263 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5263 are as follows:
