To determine if 5454 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5454.
If the factors of 5454 are only 5454 and 1, then we know that 5454 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5454 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5454 is only divisible by 1 and 5454, then it is a prime number, and if 5454 is divisible by more than 5454 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5454 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 101, 202, 303, 606, 909, 1818, 2727, 5454
Therefore, since 5454 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5454 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
