To determine if 5662 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5662.
If the factors of 5662 are only 5662 and 1, then we know that 5662 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5662 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5662 is only divisible by 1 and 5662, then it is a prime number, and if 5662 is divisible by more than 5662 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5662 are as follows:
1, 2, 19, 38, 149, 298, 2831, 5662
