To determine if 5460 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5460.
If the factors of 5460 are only 5460 and 1, then we know that 5460 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5460 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5460 is only divisible by 1 and 5460, then it is a prime number, and if 5460 is divisible by more than 5460 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5460 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 26, 28, 30, 35, 39, 42, 52, 60, 65, 70, 78, 84, 91, 105, 130, 140, 156, 182, 195, 210, 260, 273, 364, 390, 420, 455, 546, 780, 910, 1092, 1365, 1820, 2730, 5460
Therefore, since 5460 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5460 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
