To determine if 5410 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5410.
If the factors of 5410 are only 5410 and 1, then we know that 5410 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5410 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5410 is only divisible by 1 and 5410, then it is a prime number, and if 5410 is divisible by more than 5410 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5410 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 541, 1082, 2705, 5410
Therefore, since 5410 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5410 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
