To determine if 5320 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5320.
If the factors of 5320 are only 5320 and 1, then we know that 5320 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5320 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5320 is only divisible by 1 and 5320, then it is a prime number, and if 5320 is divisible by more than 5320 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5320 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 19, 20, 28, 35, 38, 40, 56, 70, 76, 95, 133, 140, 152, 190, 266, 280, 380, 532, 665, 760, 1064, 1330, 2660, 5320
Therefore, since 5320 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5320 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5321 prime or composite?
