To determine if 5701 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5701.
If the factors of 5701 are only 5701 and 1, then we know that 5701 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5701 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5701 is only divisible by 1 and 5701, then it is a prime number, and if 5701 is divisible by more than 5701 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5701 are as follows:
