To determine if 5290 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5290.
If the factors of 5290 are only 5290 and 1, then we know that 5290 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5290 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5290 is only divisible by 1 and 5290, then it is a prime number, and if 5290 is divisible by more than 5290 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5290 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 23, 46, 115, 230, 529, 1058, 2645, 5290
Therefore, since 5290 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5290 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
