To determine if 5308 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5308.
If the factors of 5308 are only 5308 and 1, then we know that 5308 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5308 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5308 is only divisible by 1 and 5308, then it is a prime number, and if 5308 is divisible by more than 5308 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5308 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1327, 2654, 5308
Therefore, since 5308 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5308 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
