To determine if 5732 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5732.
If the factors of 5732 are only 5732 and 1, then we know that 5732 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5732 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5732 is only divisible by 1 and 5732, then it is a prime number, and if 5732 is divisible by more than 5732 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5732 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1433, 2866, 5732
Therefore, since 5732 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5732 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
