To determine if 5452 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5452.
If the factors of 5452 are only 5452 and 1, then we know that 5452 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5452 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5452 is only divisible by 1 and 5452, then it is a prime number, and if 5452 is divisible by more than 5452 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5452 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 29, 47, 58, 94, 116, 188, 1363, 2726, 5452
Therefore, since 5452 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5452 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
