To determine if 5334 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5334.
If the factors of 5334 are only 5334 and 1, then we know that 5334 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5334 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5334 is only divisible by 1 and 5334, then it is a prime number, and if 5334 is divisible by more than 5334 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5334 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 127, 254, 381, 762, 889, 1778, 2667, 5334
Therefore, since 5334 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5334 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5335 prime or composite?
