To determine if 5704 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5704.
If the factors of 5704 are only 5704 and 1, then we know that 5704 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5704 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5704 is only divisible by 1 and 5704, then it is a prime number, and if 5704 is divisible by more than 5704 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5704 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 23, 31, 46, 62, 92, 124, 184, 248, 713, 1426, 2852, 5704
Therefore, since 5704 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5704 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
