To determine if 5368 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5368.
If the factors of 5368 are only 5368 and 1, then we know that 5368 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5368 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5368 is only divisible by 1 and 5368, then it is a prime number, and if 5368 is divisible by more than 5368 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5368 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 61, 88, 122, 244, 488, 671, 1342, 2684, 5368
Therefore, since 5368 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5368 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
