To determine if 5311 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5311.
If the factors of 5311 are only 5311 and 1, then we know that 5311 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5311 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5311 is only divisible by 1 and 5311, then it is a prime number, and if 5311 is divisible by more than 5311 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5311 are as follows:
1, 47, 113, 5311
Therefore, since 5311 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5311 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5312 prime or composite?
