To determine if 5731 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5731.
If the factors of 5731 are only 5731 and 1, then we know that 5731 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5731 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5731 is only divisible by 1 and 5731, then it is a prime number, and if 5731 is divisible by more than 5731 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5731 are as follows:
1, 11, 521, 5731
Therefore, since 5731 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5731 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5732 prime or composite?
