To determine if 5735 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5735.
If the factors of 5735 are only 5735 and 1, then we know that 5735 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5735 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5735 is only divisible by 1 and 5735, then it is a prime number, and if 5735 is divisible by more than 5735 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5735 are as follows:
1, 5, 31, 37, 155, 185, 1147, 5735
Therefore, since 5735 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
