To determine if 5268 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5268.
If the factors of 5268 are only 5268 and 1, then we know that 5268 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5268 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5268 is only divisible by 1 and 5268, then it is a prime number, and if 5268 is divisible by more than 5268 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5268 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 439, 878, 1317, 1756, 2634, 5268
Therefore, since 5268 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5268 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
