To determine if 5416 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5416.
If the factors of 5416 are only 5416 and 1, then we know that 5416 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5416 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5416 is only divisible by 1 and 5416, then it is a prime number, and if 5416 is divisible by more than 5416 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5416 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 677, 1354, 2708, 5416
Therefore, since 5416 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
