To determine if 5634 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5634.
If the factors of 5634 are only 5634 and 1, then we know that 5634 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5634 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5634 is only divisible by 1 and 5634, then it is a prime number, and if 5634 is divisible by more than 5634 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5634 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 313, 626, 939, 1878, 2817, 5634
Therefore, since 5634 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5634 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
