To determine if 5392 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5392.
If the factors of 5392 are only 5392 and 1, then we know that 5392 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5392 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5392 is only divisible by 1 and 5392, then it is a prime number, and if 5392 is divisible by more than 5392 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5392 are as follows:
