To determine if 5676 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5676.
If the factors of 5676 are only 5676 and 1, then we know that 5676 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5676 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5676 is only divisible by 1 and 5676, then it is a prime number, and if 5676 is divisible by more than 5676 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5676 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 43, 44, 66, 86, 129, 132, 172, 258, 473, 516, 946, 1419, 1892, 2838, 5676
Therefore, since 5676 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5676 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
