To determine if 5703 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5703.
If the factors of 5703 are only 5703 and 1, then we know that 5703 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5703 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5703 is only divisible by 1 and 5703, then it is a prime number, and if 5703 is divisible by more than 5703 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5703 are as follows:
