To determine if 5604 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5604.
If the factors of 5604 are only 5604 and 1, then we know that 5604 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5604 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5604 is only divisible by 1 and 5604, then it is a prime number, and if 5604 is divisible by more than 5604 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5604 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 467, 934, 1401, 1868, 2802, 5604
Therefore, since 5604 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5604 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
