To determine if 5282 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5282.
If the factors of 5282 are only 5282 and 1, then we know that 5282 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5282 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5282 is only divisible by 1 and 5282, then it is a prime number, and if 5282 is divisible by more than 5282 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5282 are as follows:
