To determine if 5270 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5270.
If the factors of 5270 are only 5270 and 1, then we know that 5270 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5270 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5270 is only divisible by 1 and 5270, then it is a prime number, and if 5270 is divisible by more than 5270 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5270 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 31, 34, 62, 85, 155, 170, 310, 527, 1054, 2635, 5270
Therefore, since 5270 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5270 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5271 prime or composite?
