To determine if 5321 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5321.
If the factors of 5321 are only 5321 and 1, then we know that 5321 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5321 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5321 is only divisible by 1 and 5321, then it is a prime number, and if 5321 is divisible by more than 5321 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5321 are as follows:
1, 17, 313, 5321
Therefore, since 5321 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5321 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
