To determine if 5335 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5335.
If the factors of 5335 are only 5335 and 1, then we know that 5335 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5335 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5335 is only divisible by 1 and 5335, then it is a prime number, and if 5335 is divisible by more than 5335 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5335 are as follows:
1, 5, 11, 55, 97, 485, 1067, 5335
Therefore, since 5335 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5335 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
