To determine if 5733 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5733.
If the factors of 5733 are only 5733 and 1, then we know that 5733 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5733 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5733 is only divisible by 1 and 5733, then it is a prime number, and if 5733 is divisible by more than 5733 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5733 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 9, 13, 21, 39, 49, 63, 91, 117, 147, 273, 441, 637, 819, 1911, 5733
Therefore, since 5733 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5733 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5734 prime or composite?
