To determine if 5690 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5690.
If the factors of 5690 are only 5690 and 1, then we know that 5690 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5690 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5690 is only divisible by 1 and 5690, then it is a prime number, and if 5690 is divisible by more than 5690 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5690 are as follows:
