To determine if 5852 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5852.
If the factors of 5852 are only 5852 and 1, then we know that 5852 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5852 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5852 is only divisible by 1 and 5852, then it is a prime number, and if 5852 is divisible by more than 5852 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5852 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 14, 19, 22, 28, 38, 44, 76, 77, 133, 154, 209, 266, 308, 418, 532, 836, 1463, 2926, 5852
Therefore, since 5852 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5852 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
