To determine if 5404 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5404.
If the factors of 5404 are only 5404 and 1, then we know that 5404 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5404 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5404 is only divisible by 1 and 5404, then it is a prime number, and if 5404 is divisible by more than 5404 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5404 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 193, 386, 772, 1351, 2702, 5404
Therefore, since 5404 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5404 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
