To determine if 5673 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5673.
If the factors of 5673 are only 5673 and 1, then we know that 5673 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5673 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5673 is only divisible by 1 and 5673, then it is a prime number, and if 5673 is divisible by more than 5673 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5673 are as follows:
