To determine if 5688 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5688.
If the factors of 5688 are only 5688 and 1, then we know that 5688 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5688 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5688 is only divisible by 1 and 5688, then it is a prime number, and if 5688 is divisible by more than 5688 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5688 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 632, 711, 948, 1422, 1896, 2844, 5688
Therefore, since 5688 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5688 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
