To determine if 5358 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5358.
If the factors of 5358 are only 5358 and 1, then we know that 5358 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5358 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5358 is only divisible by 1 and 5358, then it is a prime number, and if 5358 is divisible by more than 5358 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5358 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 19, 38, 47, 57, 94, 114, 141, 282, 893, 1786, 2679, 5358
Therefore, since 5358 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5358 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
