To determine if 5684 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5684.
If the factors of 5684 are only 5684 and 1, then we know that 5684 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5684 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5684 is only divisible by 1 and 5684, then it is a prime number, and if 5684 is divisible by more than 5684 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5684 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 29, 49, 58, 98, 116, 196, 203, 406, 812, 1421, 2842, 5684
Therefore, since 5684 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5684 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
