To determine if 5394 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5394.
If the factors of 5394 are only 5394 and 1, then we know that 5394 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5394 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5394 is only divisible by 1 and 5394, then it is a prime number, and if 5394 is divisible by more than 5394 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5394 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 29, 31, 58, 62, 87, 93, 174, 186, 899, 1798, 2697, 5394
Therefore, since 5394 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5394 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
