To determine if 5466 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5466.
If the factors of 5466 are only 5466 and 1, then we know that 5466 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5466 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5466 is only divisible by 1 and 5466, then it is a prime number, and if 5466 is divisible by more than 5466 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5466 are as follows:
