To determine if 5330 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5330.
If the factors of 5330 are only 5330 and 1, then we know that 5330 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5330 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5330 is only divisible by 1 and 5330, then it is a prime number, and if 5330 is divisible by more than 5330 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5330 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 13, 26, 41, 65, 82, 130, 205, 410, 533, 1066, 2665, 5330
Therefore, since 5330 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5330 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5331 prime or composite?
