To determine if 5708 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5708.
If the factors of 5708 are only 5708 and 1, then we know that 5708 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5708 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5708 is only divisible by 1 and 5708, then it is a prime number, and if 5708 is divisible by more than 5708 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5708 are as follows:
