To determine if 5412 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5412.
If the factors of 5412 are only 5412 and 1, then we know that 5412 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5412 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5412 is only divisible by 1 and 5412, then it is a prime number, and if 5412 is divisible by more than 5412 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5412 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 41, 44, 66, 82, 123, 132, 164, 246, 451, 492, 902, 1353, 1804, 2706, 5412
Therefore, since 5412 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5412 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
