To determine if 5768 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5768.
If the factors of 5768 are only 5768 and 1, then we know that 5768 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5768 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5768 is only divisible by 1 and 5768, then it is a prime number, and if 5768 is divisible by more than 5768 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5768 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56, 103, 206, 412, 721, 824, 1442, 2884, 5768
Therefore, since 5768 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5768 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
