To determine if 5324 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5324.
If the factors of 5324 are only 5324 and 1, then we know that 5324 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5324 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5324 is only divisible by 1 and 5324, then it is a prime number, and if 5324 is divisible by more than 5324 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5324 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 121, 242, 484, 1331, 2662, 5324
Therefore, since 5324 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5324 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
