To determine if 5276 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5276.
If the factors of 5276 are only 5276 and 1, then we know that 5276 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5276 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5276 is only divisible by 1 and 5276, then it is a prime number, and if 5276 is divisible by more than 5276 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5276 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1319, 2638, 5276
Therefore, since 5276 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
