To determine if 5753 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5753.
If the factors of 5753 are only 5753 and 1, then we know that 5753 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5753 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5753 is only divisible by 1 and 5753, then it is a prime number, and if 5753 is divisible by more than 5753 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5753 are as follows:
