To determine if 5474 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5474.
If the factors of 5474 are only 5474 and 1, then we know that 5474 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5474 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5474 is only divisible by 1 and 5474, then it is a prime number, and if 5474 is divisible by more than 5474 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5474 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 23, 34, 46, 119, 161, 238, 322, 391, 782, 2737, 5474
Therefore, since 5474 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5474 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
