To determine if 5470 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5470.
If the factors of 5470 are only 5470 and 1, then we know that 5470 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5470 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5470 is only divisible by 1 and 5470, then it is a prime number, and if 5470 is divisible by more than 5470 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5470 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 547, 1094, 2735, 5470
