To determine if 5395 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5395.
If the factors of 5395 are only 5395 and 1, then we know that 5395 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5395 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5395 is only divisible by 1 and 5395, then it is a prime number, and if 5395 is divisible by more than 5395 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5395 are as follows:
