To determine if 5766 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5766.
If the factors of 5766 are only 5766 and 1, then we know that 5766 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5766 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5766 is only divisible by 1 and 5766, then it is a prime number, and if 5766 is divisible by more than 5766 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5766 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93, 186, 961, 1922, 2883, 5766
Therefore, since 5766 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5766 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5767 prime or composite?
