To determine if 5715 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5715.
If the factors of 5715 are only 5715 and 1, then we know that 5715 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5715 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5715 is only divisible by 1 and 5715, then it is a prime number, and if 5715 is divisible by more than 5715 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5715 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45, 127, 381, 635, 1143, 1905, 5715
Therefore, since 5715 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5715 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5716 prime or composite?
