To determine if 5730 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5730.
If the factors of 5730 are only 5730 and 1, then we know that 5730 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5730 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5730 is only divisible by 1 and 5730, then it is a prime number, and if 5730 is divisible by more than 5730 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5730 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 191, 382, 573, 955, 1146, 1910, 2865, 5730
Therefore, since 5730 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5730 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5731 prime or composite?
