To determine if 5402 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5402.
If the factors of 5402 are only 5402 and 1, then we know that 5402 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5402 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5402 is only divisible by 1 and 5402, then it is a prime number, and if 5402 is divisible by more than 5402 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5402 are as follows:
1, 2, 37, 73, 74, 146, 2701, 5402
Therefore, since 5402 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5402 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
