To determine if 5658 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5658.
If the factors of 5658 are only 5658 and 1, then we know that 5658 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5658 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5658 is only divisible by 1 and 5658, then it is a prime number, and if 5658 is divisible by more than 5658 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5658 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 41, 46, 69, 82, 123, 138, 246, 943, 1886, 2829, 5658
Therefore, since 5658 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5658 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
