To determine if 5315 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5315.
If the factors of 5315 are only 5315 and 1, then we know that 5315 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5315 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5315 is only divisible by 1 and 5315, then it is a prime number, and if 5315 is divisible by more than 5315 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5315 are as follows:
1, 5, 1063, 5315
Therefore, since 5315 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5315 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
