To determine if 5266 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5266.
If the factors of 5266 are only 5266 and 1, then we know that 5266 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5266 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5266 is only divisible by 1 and 5266, then it is a prime number, and if 5266 is divisible by more than 5266 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5266 are as follows:
