To determine if 5370 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5370.
If the factors of 5370 are only 5370 and 1, then we know that 5370 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5370 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5370 is only divisible by 1 and 5370, then it is a prime number, and if 5370 is divisible by more than 5370 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5370 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 179, 358, 537, 895, 1074, 1790, 2685, 5370
Therefore, since 5370 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5370 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5371 prime or composite?
