To determine if 5344 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5344.
If the factors of 5344 are only 5344 and 1, then we know that 5344 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5344 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5344 is only divisible by 1 and 5344, then it is a prime number, and if 5344 is divisible by more than 5344 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5344 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 167, 334, 668, 1336, 2672, 5344
