To determine if 5754 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5754.
If the factors of 5754 are only 5754 and 1, then we know that 5754 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5754 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5754 is only divisible by 1 and 5754, then it is a prime number, and if 5754 is divisible by more than 5754 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5754 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 137, 274, 411, 822, 959, 1918, 2877, 5754
Therefore, since 5754 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5754 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
