To determine if 5305 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5305.
If the factors of 5305 are only 5305 and 1, then we know that 5305 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5305 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5305 is only divisible by 1 and 5305, then it is a prime number, and if 5305 is divisible by more than 5305 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5305 are as follows:
