To determine if 5700 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5700.
If the factors of 5700 are only 5700 and 1, then we know that 5700 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5700 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5700 is only divisible by 1 and 5700, then it is a prime number, and if 5700 is divisible by more than 5700 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5700 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 19, 20, 25, 30, 38, 50, 57, 60, 75, 76, 95, 100, 114, 150, 190, 228, 285, 300, 380, 475, 570, 950, 1140, 1425, 1900, 2850, 5700
Therefore, since 5700 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5700 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5701 prime or composite?
