To determine if 5385 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5385.
If the factors of 5385 are only 5385 and 1, then we know that 5385 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5385 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5385 is only divisible by 1 and 5385, then it is a prime number, and if 5385 is divisible by more than 5385 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5385 are as follows:
