To determine if 5317 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5317.
If the factors of 5317 are only 5317 and 1, then we know that 5317 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5317 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5317 is only divisible by 1 and 5317, then it is a prime number, and if 5317 is divisible by more than 5317 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5317 are as follows:
