To determine if 5274 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5274.
If the factors of 5274 are only 5274 and 1, then we know that 5274 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5274 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5274 is only divisible by 1 and 5274, then it is a prime number, and if 5274 is divisible by more than 5274 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5274 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 293, 586, 879, 1758, 2637, 5274
Therefore, since 5274 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
