To determine if 5356 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5356.
If the factors of 5356 are only 5356 and 1, then we know that 5356 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5356 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5356 is only divisible by 1 and 5356, then it is a prime number, and if 5356 is divisible by more than 5356 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5356 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 103, 206, 412, 1339, 2678, 5356
Therefore, since 5356 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5356 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
