To determine if 5275 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5275.
If the factors of 5275 are only 5275 and 1, then we know that 5275 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5275 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5275 is only divisible by 1 and 5275, then it is a prime number, and if 5275 is divisible by more than 5275 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5275 are as follows:
1, 5, 25, 211, 1055, 5275
Therefore, since 5275 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5275 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
