To determine if 5267 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5267.
If the factors of 5267 are only 5267 and 1, then we know that 5267 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5267 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5267 is only divisible by 1 and 5267, then it is a prime number, and if 5267 is divisible by more than 5267 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5267 are as follows:
