To determine if 5360 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5360.
If the factors of 5360 are only 5360 and 1, then we know that 5360 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5360 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5360 is only divisible by 1 and 5360, then it is a prime number, and if 5360 is divisible by more than 5360 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5360 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 67, 80, 134, 268, 335, 536, 670, 1072, 1340, 2680, 5360
Therefore, since 5360 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5360 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5361 prime or composite?
