To determine if 5716 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5716.
If the factors of 5716 are only 5716 and 1, then we know that 5716 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5716 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5716 is only divisible by 1 and 5716, then it is a prime number, and if 5716 is divisible by more than 5716 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5716 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1429, 2858, 5716
Therefore, since 5716 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
