To determine if 5408 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5408.
If the factors of 5408 are only 5408 and 1, then we know that 5408 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5408 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5408 is only divisible by 1 and 5408, then it is a prime number, and if 5408 is divisible by more than 5408 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5408 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 32, 52, 104, 169, 208, 338, 416, 676, 1352, 2704, 5408
Therefore, since 5408 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5408 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
