To determine if 5618 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5618.
If the factors of 5618 are only 5618 and 1, then we know that 5618 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5618 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5618 is only divisible by 1 and 5618, then it is a prime number, and if 5618 is divisible by more than 5618 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5618 are as follows:
