To determine if 5451 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5451.
If the factors of 5451 are only 5451 and 1, then we know that 5451 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5451 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5451 is only divisible by 1 and 5451, then it is a prime number, and if 5451 is divisible by more than 5451 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5451 are as follows:
1, 3, 23, 69, 79, 237, 1817, 5451
Therefore, since 5451 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5451 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
