To determine if 5292 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5292.
If the factors of 5292 are only 5292 and 1, then we know that 5292 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5292 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5292 is only divisible by 1 and 5292, then it is a prime number, and if 5292 is divisible by more than 5292 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5292 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 27, 28, 36, 42, 49, 54, 63, 84, 98, 108, 126, 147, 189, 196, 252, 294, 378, 441, 588, 756, 882, 1323, 1764, 2646, 5292
Therefore, since 5292 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5292 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
