To determine if 5770 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5770.
If the factors of 5770 are only 5770 and 1, then we know that 5770 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5770 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5770 is only divisible by 1 and 5770, then it is a prime number, and if 5770 is divisible by more than 5770 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5770 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 577, 1154, 2885, 5770
