To determine if 5652 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5652.
If the factors of 5652 are only 5652 and 1, then we know that 5652 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5652 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5652 is only divisible by 1 and 5652, then it is a prime number, and if 5652 is divisible by more than 5652 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5652 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 157, 314, 471, 628, 942, 1413, 1884, 2826, 5652
Therefore, since 5652 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5652 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5653 prime or composite?
