To determine if 5476 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5476.
If the factors of 5476 are only 5476 and 1, then we know that 5476 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5476 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5476 is only divisible by 1 and 5476, then it is a prime number, and if 5476 is divisible by more than 5476 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5476 are as follows:
