To determine if 5376 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5376.
If the factors of 5376 are only 5376 and 1, then we know that 5376 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5376 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5376 is only divisible by 1 and 5376, then it is a prime number, and if 5376 is divisible by more than 5376 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5376 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 42, 48, 56, 64, 84, 96, 112, 128, 168, 192, 224, 256, 336, 384, 448, 672, 768, 896, 1344, 1792, 2688, 5376
Therefore, since 5376 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5376 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
