To determine if 5340 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5340.
If the factors of 5340 are only 5340 and 1, then we know that 5340 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5340 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5340 is only divisible by 1 and 5340, then it is a prime number, and if 5340 is divisible by more than 5340 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5340 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60, 89, 178, 267, 356, 445, 534, 890, 1068, 1335, 1780, 2670, 5340
Therefore, since 5340 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5340 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5341 prime or composite?
