To determine if 5316 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5316.
If the factors of 5316 are only 5316 and 1, then we know that 5316 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5316 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5316 is only divisible by 1 and 5316, then it is a prime number, and if 5316 is divisible by more than 5316 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5316 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 443, 886, 1329, 1772, 2658, 5316
Therefore, since 5316 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5316 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5317 prime or composite?
