To determine if 5328 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5328.
If the factors of 5328 are only 5328 and 1, then we know that 5328 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5328 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5328 is only divisible by 1 and 5328, then it is a prime number, and if 5328 is divisible by more than 5328 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5328 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 37, 48, 72, 74, 111, 144, 148, 222, 296, 333, 444, 592, 666, 888, 1332, 1776, 2664, 5328
Therefore, since 5328 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5328 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
