To determine if 5364 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5364.
If the factors of 5364 are only 5364 and 1, then we know that 5364 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5364 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5364 is only divisible by 1 and 5364, then it is a prime number, and if 5364 is divisible by more than 5364 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5364 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 149, 298, 447, 596, 894, 1341, 1788, 2682, 5364
Therefore, since 5364 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5364 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5365 prime or composite?
