If it is prime, it cannot be split in 2 numbers that multiply to equal it. Look at the last number of the number to get a hint first. The last number of 52 is a 2. If you recall, any number that ends ina 2 or 0 can be divided by 2:
52 is <span>composite prime </span><span>can be divided evenly only by 1, or itself </span><span>but 52 can divided by 2,4,13, etc... hope it helps</span>
