To determine if 5761 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5761.
If the factors of 5761 are only 5761 and 1, then we know that 5761 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5761 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5761 is only divisible by 1 and 5761, then it is a prime number, and if 5761 is divisible by more than 5761 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5761 are as follows:
1, 7, 823, 5761
Therefore, since 5761 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5761 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5762 prime or composite?
