To determine if 5450 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5450.
If the factors of 5450 are only 5450 and 1, then we know that 5450 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5450 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5450 is only divisible by 1 and 5450, then it is a prime number, and if 5450 is divisible by more than 5450 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5450 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 109, 218, 545, 1090, 2725, 5450
Therefore, since 5450 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5450 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5451 prime or composite?
